I enjoyed this movie. The story moves along. Characters are interesting because they are flawed. Note that it is "inspired" by true events, which is true, but the original events did not center in Reno as in the film, but that is OK. It was BRE-X, not Washoe Mining. The original was such a grand scale scandal that it pushed mining exploration into a 5 year recession with virtually no employment opportunities and pushed the Canadian stock markets into changing how they did busiiness which ultimately opened new opportunities for Boy Scouts like me. You get a sense of the roller coaster in the movie and reality is like that. As we say, sometimes you are the bug, sometimes you are the windshield.
