Very relevant to whats going on today. Rich people and politicians mysteriously in favour of foreign dictators and autocrats.

Millions in funding flowing into the coffers of politicians from who knows where?! Talking heads on television inexplicably enamoured with putin. What is going on?

This movie shows you what it could be. Foreign money and influence, perhaps kompromat influencing the wealthy. Influencing the people on our televisions. Making us doubt our country, our democracy, our way of life. Re-interpreting our constitution as they see fit to achieve their nefarious ambitions.

Kudo's to Bale, Washington, Rock, Robbie and Saldana. Especially to David O. Russell for being brave enough to use this event, the Business Plot, as a parable for what is happening to us and the rest of the world today.
