As Hunt’s life unravels, so does the movie, though the story maintains a certain baseline of interest just by virtue of being sordid. Read full review

It’s intermittently engaging as a B-movie, but so often strives for something more that it never finds a satisfying tone. Read full review

Cox’s film plays like a pureed mash-up of “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “The Social Network” and last month’s indie heist film “American Animals” — without the richness or texture of any of those films. Read full review

It's a derivative bore, all popped collars, douchey bros and hand-me-down psychology, that gets its characters up to their necks in borrowed money just long enough to have it really hurt when the accounts run dry. Read full review

There are no billionaires here, just a lot of testosterone where the movie’s brains ought to be. Read full review

This gets a 7 more form the source material being compelling, rather than the writing or directing. Also a very good cast who mostly do OK with each role, just a matter of mediocre, sortof trite by the book directing and writing that never really examines any of the characters with muchThis gets a 7 more form the source material being compelling, rather than the writing or directing. Also a very good cast who mostly do OK with each role, just a matter of mediocre, sortof trite by the book directing and writing that never really examines any of the characters with much depth like better quality films would. It is however..such an interesting true story, with a very good cast that it makes it watchable, although a mediocre film artistically. I was entertained as someone who did not know anything about the story, so if you enjoy films about that genre you may enjoy it, just don't expect too much.… Expand
