Not for everyone. Probably a phrase that gets thrown around more than it should, yet I think it wholly applies to this movie. If you are coming to see this just to get a representation of the facts of the true story without quirky gimmicks and pizazz; then watch a Youtube or news summary of this particular story.
Now if you are here for a rollercoaster of wacky and a bit of offbeat comedy while still explaining the inner workings of this story; then this movie just might be in your park. It's like they borrowed the feel they put towards "The Big Short" and said "Hey! What if we used that formula, threw in a big truckload of wacky edgy tropes and an injection of hip modern day perspective!?"
This is exactly what you would have from that, take it or leave it. Is the acting good? Mmmm passable for most of the actors. Would I recommend it to anybody I know? Probably not; unless they tell me out of nowhere that they love wacky movies about serious topics. Is it a good movie or a great one? Just good and let's you in on a recent event without being boring.
