Movie Reviews of Rogue Trader
Movie Review: Great potrayal of the infamous rogue trader
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie captures well the story of the rogue trader.
Ewen MacGregor does a superb job, and manages to create some real tension. You can almost feel the tension in your living room when you watch this one!
When he first made the money back, you almost wish he would have stopped there, but somehow, like an addicted gambler, continues on, inventing ingenious ways to cover up, and get more money to trade.
All the cast does a good job, the locations are also excellent.
An underrated excellent movie, and well worth a look, if you have even the slightest interest in finance or banks.
Movie Review: McGregor is fantastic
Summary: 4 Stars
Ewan McGregor in an extremely well acted role in the true story of the downfall of Britan's oldest financial institutions. Ewan plays a trader on the Singapore Stock Market who gets caught up in a high stakes gambling with his firms funds to cover up his own wagering, starting off as a simple small lose it snowballs into billions and he must fight against time to make back the losses before the deadline. McGregor's acting is great and you really get stressed yourself watching him go through everything he's that convincing. All and all a great suspense movie.Movie Review: Good....
Summary: 4 Stars
I understand that this book was based on Leeson's own account, but despite that it gives a good view of his foolishness and culpability. However, I can't see some other former Baring's employees being too happy with this.As with another reviewer, I work in banking, namely providing IT support to the front and backoffices. The stress shown in this film on both sides is very realistic.
I saw this on a friend's video and will buy the DVD myself.
Movie Review: Excellent Movie 4 Traders. Ok 4 Others
Summary: 4 Stars
To fully apreciate this movie you have to be a trader, a trader who has experienced loses. Many of the emotions that Nick goes through are similar to the emotions that most people experience when they begin to trade. While Nick's trading style is different than most people's (price arbitrage and huge amounts of equity), the emotions are still there, fear and greed.Movie Review: Bank Johnny gone bad!
Summary: 4 Stars
I first saw this movie in a cinema in Singapore and now this movie has been banned in Singapore?? This is quite a good movie based on a true story set in Singapore and I would highly recommend it.
