I thought it was pretty well balanced and amazing cast. I suspect that William Hurt is going to win a few awards for his role of Henry Paulson and Paul Giamatti was dead-on as Fed Chairman Bernake.
I thought there was some interesting things brought to light during the movie, made a few things even more clear to me from watching it. Like just how bad that guy from Lehman Brothers screwed things up. He let his ego get into the way and instead of making the deal early on, he allowed the company to die a painful death, which created more havoc in the long run. I still wonder if the government had done a Bear-Sterns deal with Lehman if we could have averted some of the disaster back then.
I loved the ending of the movie and found alot of irony in it. I think that Paulson and his group almost did the right thing with the TARP, but the ending was perfect when Paulson along with his staff wondered if they could have done more and hoped that the Banks would do the right thing with the money they had received. Fade to black and then you had the end notes, what happened in the aftermath including the fact that $137million in compensation was spent by these bank leaders.
What were your thoughts on the movie?
