The last two were actually very good.
Just don't expect much of a plot.
Some of the action is awesome.

If you can find the original series on DVD, it's worth watching. It wasn't generic action movie stuff. The original TV show was more of a psychodrama; tension, not action.
TIL it was a TV series back in the day
It starred people like Martin Landau and Barbara Bain, Peter Graves, Leonard Nimoy, Lesley Anne Warren...... Lots of people you might know from other famous TV shows from the 1960s/1970s. It was one of my favourite shows, when I could get to the TV when my parents were out.
In many ways.
I'd say a bit scary ... not that I didn't know how the financial world came down in 2008 ... but the details of it were really intriguing. The role of "Mark" (constantly on the phone) was really enlightening to see that it still might exist ... although I have to wonder whether that really is true.
The principles the world economies are built on nowadays, is an absolute joke, US being the biggest one.

My wife and I watched that this weekend - infuriating - but very good.
What blew me away was how mortgage swaps and CDO were actually created........and when everything came crashing down, they got bailed out and found a way to work around in present day.
Not to mention just how crazy the whole ratings and regulatory agencies have no idea of what the hell is going on. And the banks themselves appear oblivious.

The few screens at the very end of the movie were like a bitter ending, just to get you really upset. Have you noticed what they have said?
Remember was pretty good. A combination of Memento and Terminator if you can believe it.
So it seems that I need to watch the Big Short...
Finally got around to watching the first Hunger Games (I watched mocking jay 1 first, with my kid). I enjoyed it. Did not realize how many big names were actually in it. My son says it's doesn't stay completely true to the book. Tonight, the second movie.
