This movie draws you in by exploiting the 'anger' and discontent everyone feels with the financial shenanigans done in Wallstreet. The movie raised a couple of questions regarding a stock collapse while a bomb is strapped on Clooney's chest. I guess the bomb is suppose to provide suspense. Someone in Hollywood should employ Costa-Gavras to help them make a well done business movie with depth, drama and truth. If you wanna see a real movie watch the foreign movie 'Le Capital.'

This movie falls into the genre of movie's trying to wake us up to the fragility of our financial system. Unfortunately this movie like most reveals that corruption and greed have gone rampant , but there seems to be no solution. Which begs the question do we need more reminders. One aspect that stands out is the use of "hackers'"and cyber space intelligence which makes the crimes happen at a rate faster than the eye can blink. or in this can a gun or bomb can go off. Fascinating ..!!

With the caliber of actors I was hoping for more. Story is very predictable and lacks depth. Also the way it was filmed and a cop with a bad mustache made me want to laugh when it was not appropriate.
