Just because it's based on a true story doesn't mean you get to redo what's already been done well. this is just scenes from boiler room + Scareface + Gordon Gecko's wall street combined so the whole movie has been done before surprised FFC didn't just splice together other older scenes and call it a remake - very disappointed there was no original plot or twists acting was great and scenes were done well and there was some humorous spots but nothing that hasn't been done before. I expected great things from this movie with all the hype and it is supposed to be the director's last movie and my guess is he is just tired and wanted to make one last fun movie with his favorite actors because it looks like they had a lot of fun.
