In the end, the movie concludes that Wall Street finds out that Wall Street is corrupt. This is where the movie falls Short Big time.
Wall Street is always corrupt, but that is not what caused 2008. It was select individuals, less than 100 people, who were fully complicit and responsible for what occurred. And none were jailed or even audited. Today, they are among the ultrawealthy. Why do you think Hollywood was able to publish a movie about real corruption? Because they named no individuals or entities, they only blamed the industry at large. And that's how the real crooks win.
