This movie feels like the financial version of the 2003 Showtime movie 9/11 DC Time of Crisis, a retelling of history designed to make the participants look better than they deserved.
Anyone who watched the news channels saw Bush in 2001 and Paulson in 2008 with "deer in headlights" expressions and responses that made it clear that they were just overwhelmed and really did not have a clue, not the calm, cool and collected versions shown in these respective films.
"Too Big to Fail" is well acted and casted and is an interesting two hours, but should not be taken as history.
