The writers and director do a great job of livening up what would otherwise have been a very dry numbers-crunching journey into the twilight zone of finance. Explanations of the most convoluted shenanigans are made in unique ways, the fourth wall is not sacred, and don't be surprised if a stripper or two helps with the exposition. Colorful characters, lively presentation, solid in almost every way -- though it's probably not the best movie to see on New Year's eve to instill one with hope for the future.
Great performances from Christian Bale, Steve Carell and others.
