Why ? It was brilliant from start to finish and is a massive warning light for all developments that are occurring of a similar nature. It's a must watch !
Full credit to the two lead actors both made the story so real. To me it had every emotion possible through the episode and in my view the correct ending.
If you watch this episode intently you will realise how vulnerable people & society's acceptance of advancement's can become.
When you think about the story the following morning you realise just how this is not out of the question of becoming a possibility not only in the circumstances shown but potentially from birth. This really is the black mirror effect of looking at the future.

Bank of Dave 2 takes the real life situation of Dave's campaign against Wonga payday loan company ( who created so much misery ) and as it says at the start of the film embellish's the facts with a fictional gangster story line and a romance.
The fact it did lead to change & demise of numerous evil payday loan companies warrants the film being produced.
If you understand finance the film is great and the embellishments make the film dramatic and humorous in many ways.
Personally I loved it then looked at what was real and what was not. I would recommend you do the same - watch it and enjoy the film then see how real it is.
Enjoy we both did and gave it a 9 out of 10 as we both enjoyed it.

Having looked through the reviews I fail to see how anyone could possibly give this less than a 7. Ok potentially 1 off for 3 hours but they flew by .
Possibly 1 off if you do not know the history or the relevance of how important this development was at the time.
God knows what else you could take points off for.
The acting is sublime with Cillian and Robert Downey Junior leading the ways of numerous 5 star cameo performances, too many to mention.
The film is a visual historical delight with the exception of the wring flag ( who cares ).
It is truly based on fact - Oppenheimer died of cancer at 62 from the chain smoking portrayed as an example. The rest of the film has been developed di well as the majority of it is on public record.
I can only advise you to see it for yourself if the subject matter is off interest and you want to know why we now live in a world full of nuclear weapons.
