A little before 2008, investors think the subprime market is going to crash so they bet against it. That's it, that's the plot of the movie and it's repeated over and over and over again. The result is just as boring as it sounds.

The only thing that raises this movie above a complete BOREFEST is having lots of A-list actors playing atypical roles, especially Christian Bale.

This movie is just bad. If you want to see a GOOD movie about the 2008 crash, watch the excellent MARGIN CALL (2011) and especially Jeremy Irons in top shape - excellent acting with excellent dialog.
