I recognize the Bloomberg offices in Hong Kong anywhere when I visited them. As a finance analyst, I was kind of taken back at how the dialogue resembles my day to day. I've certainly partied in Hong Kong like that too, maybe even more...definitely give it a watch if you are in biz. I'm going to watch it again. There were a few parts I missed because I was looking at all the scenery and pointing out places I've been!
If you are in finance like me, you'll really like this one. It's got everything: short trading, shareholder activism, poison pills, interest rates. I really liked how they weaved everything together. Hong Kong is shot beautifully and so is Macau and New York.
Enjoyed all the different types of gambling on and off the trading floor. so I know the rules of Baccarat and Poker. Really fun movie for me, but if you don't get finance and gambling, some of the stuff may fly over your head! Nonetheless, you'll still get most of it.

I'm an indie filmmaker and I know how hard it is to make a movie. I'm stunned on how good this film is and the amount of production value they had. This film has inspired me to make my own movie and I feel it's really possible now. I hope to read more about how they made the movie and the behind the scenes and how they got all the HK veteran actors like Kenneth Tsang and Richard Ng. And I've been a huge fan of Linus Roache even before he was in Batman Begins. The film flows really well. It does have some clunky parts and flaws, but I'll forgive it for overall it's a good film.
Too the filmmakers, Please make more!

I can't believe I missed this one. After I saw the movie, I checked out all of the reviews. I can see what some of the negative ones were saying, but I think all of my heroes like Martin from Forbes, Chrystia from the NY Times, Will from Dealbook are on the...money!
I've never seen a film that embraces and shows the real side of how deals are done, especially in Asia. This is how it is, and and how we speak. The plot has a lot of intricate finance related terms which if you are in the industry, you will appreciate. It also shows the real dirtiness of what happens on both sides of a trade.

Well, for the record, i seriously think that this movie is not bad, it makes me have the interest on the finance market, quite informative, at least for me. There isn't a lot this kind of movie brewing in the market, so when i come to the summary of the title, i just know that i am so dying to watch this movie, at least it din't disappointed me.
Quite surprise me when two of the aged Asian actor are speaking quite proper English, its " wow " me a lot. Although some of the actor aren't really good at acting, but i think it's acceptable, at least for me, hope that there is more of these kind of movie brewing and i am expecting more from the team of making this movie.
Overall i vote the movie at 5 out of 10, informative, realistic, rare.
Worth a watch.
