I don't know if Nick Leeson deserved this movie. A man who almost single-handedly made one of Britains big banks bankrupt couldn't be as "innocent" as portrayed in this movie? Or?
I didn't know any of the details in the Barings Bank-bankrupcy. I think that helped me in enjoying this movie, because it was quite entertaining. I'm no expert in how trading takes place in the stock market and physically at the stock exchange either. I think that helped too, because I've heard from people who know a lot about it that the way this is portrayed in the movie isn't very realistic. But, as mentioned, I didn't have to worry about that.
If you'd like a thriller about financial problems and crimes (a really small genre) I thing you'll enjoy this one. Normal people have no problem in understanding what's happening in the movie.
