About this movie

When four outsiders saw what the big banks, media and government refused to, the global collapse of the economy, they had an idea: The Big Short. Their bold investment leads them into the dark underbelly of modern banking where they must question everyone and everything. Based on the true story and best-selling book by Michael Lewis (The Blind Side, Moneyball), and directed by Adam Mckay (Anchorman, Step Brothers) The Big Short stars Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt.

Ratings and reviews

Awful. Brad must have needed quick bucks to pay for Angele's expensive habits.

immensely scary, probably close to reality too. serious subject, told in a likable way.

Well made movie. But mostly people talking to other people with exposition about the 2008 crash.
