Reviews
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
IcemanLA There were too many story lines, too many overlapping characters, and there was little there to get you hooked. By the middle of the movie I was not wondering what would happen, but rather, when it would be over. The movie is stylish and well shot, the acting is okay, but the story suffers from a lack of focus and fails to fully draw you in.It is sad that they require you to write more words than necessary in these reviews.I really have nothing more to say, but they require a minimum number of lines, thus forcing me to write junk, when most readers would prefer a quick synopsis.This is a sad part of this website, and I wish they would adjust the rules and not act like Nazis.
susiejohnson-28100 i loved it. didn't expect much as it as not a high profile Hollywood movie and my husband had watched and suggested that i watch it. i started the movie with very low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. It built up to a strong story and i didn't move from the couch. Anna Gunn does a great job of representing the 40+ female executive in the investment industry and how she deals with a male environment, competition from others and people looking for info. she plays a smart controlled woman in a uncontrollable industry. It could have easily been a male lead as the story development was superb. i was not familiar with Gunn and from this recognized her in Sully and will follow her career now. Watch this movie.
Tony Heck "Don't let money be a dirty word. We can like that too." Naomi Bishop (Gunn) is an investment banker who is bucking for a promotion. All she has to do is prove herself with her newest project and its hers. She promises the team she is working with nothing but success and everything is lining up her way, until she begins to hear rumors about the company. The more she digs the more worried she becomes. Investigator Samantha (Reiner) is trying to uncover the same thing and both want to do the right thing, but for different reasons. This is a movie that I was looking forward to. I really love movies like Wall Street and was hoping for something like that. On one hand the movie was tense and exciting. A movie that makes you feel anger and wonder who to root for. On the other hand, there was just something missing to make it as good as I wanted. I'm not sure what it was but it just felt like it needed a little extra to put it over the top. Overall, a very good movie that tried to break through to greatness but never quite made it. This is still worth watching though. I give this a B.
henferdeline If this movie was a stock about to get its debut, it would flop worse than the mock company that appears in it.With 1,5 "good, correct" male characters (the VP's husband disapproved of her dedication to work, so he gets only half...), we have women in all the lead roles.The hero is a white lesbian, in a relationship with a black, very supportive woman and having to small kids, all perfectly adjusted.All the women are presented as being inherently good - even if some, driven by the machinations of the evil men above and around them, do bad things to advance their careers....All the men (except the aforementioned 1,5) are manipulative or outright bad, with all the stereotypes related to Wall Street.An uni-dimensional movie with a poor, underdeveloped story. A thorough waste of time.
