Movie Reviews of Rogue Trader
Movie Review: Great little film
Summary: 5 Stars
I say "little" because not much of a splash on the radar when it came out. I am a huge Ewan McGregor fan so I have been on the look out for every example of his work for a few years now. When I first heard about Rogue Trader, amazingly I actually remembered the true story behind it too so I was excited to see the film. The film itself is both exciting and sad. You see a young hot shot getting in over his head in more exotic locales and how far he goes to cover up--to the failure of the British home company. If you want to bring morals into the picture you can see the exact moment where he crosses the line, telling a lie that he can only embellish and make worse until ka-boom, it all falls down. So basically the film doesn't in my opinion glorify the actions of the main character.Ewan does a great job (well he always does in my biased opinion) and I enjoyed the perfomances of all the supporting characters as well. Highly recommend.
Movie Review: Excellent movie!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently became a big fan of Ewan McGregor. While I was looking through all the movies he's been in and reading the reviews, I was unsure whether to buy this. Not having any knowledge of the stock market, I didn't know if I'd like it.
Not only did I wind up loving this movie, it made me very interested in how the stock market works. Ewan McGregor's performance was amazing. I wasn't bored for even a minute. There were no drawn out parts at all...making this movie only 90 minutes was a plus. It was fast paced and exciting. Anyone who likes gambling, even a little bit, could relate to this movie. I was unexpectedly surprised how good this movie was. If you're not a fan of Ewan McGregor....you'll probably become one. I've watched this movie twice already within a few days so I'd definitely recommend buying it.
Movie Review: Very good
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is good for one simple reason: You can feel the increasing stress as go along with the movie. It's like if you were the rogue trader and you start feeling more and more pressure from your upper management, from external auditors, from the specialized press and ultimately from your wife ! He was very close to get away with it. I hope you guys remember that he was lucky when the internal auditor had to leave, and when he could recover the initial loss. What he could not predict was the earthquake in Kobe of course ! The movie also shows Neil as a very employee emotional person. Barings never trained or tested Neil to manage people. That started everything when he wanted to recover from his employee mistake. A plus to the movie is the remarkable acting performed by Ewan, he was selected by God to play such role.Movie Review: Feel the stress of a rogue trader
Summary: 5 Stars
As a previous employee of an investment bank, I found this movie rich with a realistic flavor of how stressful working in a fast paced trading environment can be. With recent headlines about day trading and stock market wealth, you'll find this production a fun topic of conversation as you watch Leeson (Ewan McGregor) risk the bank's capital speculating in Japanese stock index futures on an open out cry trading floor in Singapore. Based on a true story, some might remember reading about the failure of Barings, a major U.K. investment bank, yet McGregor's portrayal still makes you wonder what he will do next.Movie Review: One of Ewan's Best
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a big fan of Ewan McGregor and have seen most of his movies. I was hesitant to get this movie because the idea of money, trading, etc. seemed foreign and out of my league. You DO NOT have to know anything about trading to get into this movie. Ewan McGregor gives one of his best performances. You actually feel extremely nervous and uncomfortable as he gets himself deeper and deeper into trouble. You kind of feel like you're going to get in trouble for just watching! Great movie if you love suspense and a "must own" for any Ewan fan.
