The movie isn´t bad at all. DeNiro is doing a great job. It just left me a little confused about what Levinson motivation and intentions were regarding the portrayal of Madoff. The movie shows more about what Bernies actions did to his family then about his victims. Madoff is still serving his sentence and from what I´ve read he is doing well even making deals inside prison. So why put him in the focus of a movie ?

Madoff was a scapegoat, if ever there was one, just like all big scandals. And now we are supposed to feel sympathy for him and his family? That's what this film seems to portray.

The Madoff miniseries was 20x better than this.

I couldn't be bothered finishing it. The acting was good, but I didn't think there was enough happening in the storyline. Also when Madoff became like a grumpy old man he started to annoy me. I also didn't like how they kept jumping timelines around, instead of following the rise/deals and then fall/capture of Bernie in a linear fashion. You might like it more than me though.

The Wallstreet world is very interesting and complicated, and I find it to be quite Intriguing. This movie is a bit of an inside in this financial wor More
