7.8 / 10

Three separate but parallel stories of the U.S mortgage housing crisis of 2005 are told. Michael Burry, an eccentric ex-physician turned one-eyed Scion Capital hedge fund manager, has traded traditional office attire for shorts, bare feet and a Supercuts haircut. He believes that the US housing market is built on a bubble that will burst within the next few years. Autonomy within the company allows Burry to do largely as he pleases, so Burry proceeds to bet against the housing market with the banks, who are more than happy to accept his proposal for something that has never happened in American history. The banks believe that Burry is a crackpot and therefore are confident in that they will win the deal. Jared Vennett with Deutschebank gets wind of what Burry is doing and, as an investor believes he too can cash in on Burry's beliefs. An errant telephone call to FrontPoint Partners gets this information into the hands of Mark Baum, an idealist who is fed up with the corruption in the ...

One of my favourite movies of all time, takes something that is fairly mundane and makes into an interesting, shocking and sad- kind of funny story. - @Saturday, October 20, 2018 11:54 PM

This movie was stupid and boring...I had high hopes for it because I'm a finance trader option guy. I found all the characters to be bland and dry and drab and slate and underperforming. Ryan Gosling's character/face annoyed me, and those three supporting random dudes, and Steve Carrel annoying as well. If you like 'wall st' type movies....watch Trading Places, Wall Street, Boiler Room, Rogue Trader, Other People's Money, All finance/wall st movies ....the characters come off as reptile annoying snakes. All I saw in this movie were a bunch of male actors acting empty...not really convincing or selling or understanding the underlying story. Gordon Gekko/Michael Douglas is the only guy who can truly sell in a finance/money/wall st movie....he looks and truly acts like he understands that world of finance. - @Saturday, October 20, 2018 12:30 AM

Brad Pitt: You have any idea what you just did? You just bet against the American Economy. That honestly got me shook the first time I heard it because it is true. The corruptive bankers and corporations that are in charge of our economy have seemingly made it look as if we're doing great where in all honestly, its a bunch of lies and patched up shit - @Wednesday, July 11, 2018 2:28 PM

I remember watching this when it first came out and as a 14y/o, I had no clue of what was going on, all I saw was the tension. This past year, we did a book reading and I chose the Big Short because I wanted to understand it and I love Economics. After reading it (and mostly understanding it) I watched the movie and OH MY GOD was it good. It's crazy to think that average citizens get screwed over every day by big corporate businesses that do whatever they can to get more bucks. It's utterly ridiculous and almost unfathomable that this was able to happen for so long and that the government didn't do shit about it. It was a bunch of broke people who just wanted to set things right. - @Wednesday, July 11, 2018 2:21 PM

And none of them went to jail. In fact we gave them a huge amount of money that we were not allowed to check on and the men who recieved it could not be prosecuted. We deserve ALL all we get - @Tuesday, July 3, 2018 7:10 PM

I'm i the only one who doesn't give a fuck about those types of movies? just because you have big names attached to your movie with a giant production budget doesn't make it interesting....it's still a movie about wall street, which is so boring and stupid - @Sunday, June 10, 2018 3:35 AM

our FED is a fraud system - owned by banks. They "control" themselves. Shit. In Europe the governments are controling the banks. Works mostly. John Paulson (since 01.2008 Alan Greespan, former FED CEO was his exclusive advisor...) made for his fund app. $ 40 billion. The rob the people. Our US is not a democrazy - it´s a fraud system. THINK. And don´t watch TV, get informed with NY Times and London Financial Times - it will open up YOUR mind and world. Happy days. - @Wednesday, March 21, 2018 4:31 PM
