Hugh Jackman was great. Allison Janney was great. Ray Romano was ok as usual. That said the movie was desperate for some sort of entertainment value. It was moderately boring from start to finish. I found myself hoping something was going to break open and because the film did not deviate from the truth it suffered a bit. The big short had it's comedic moments. The wolf of wall street had a very interesting main character to work with. This film however didn't really have the right source content to produce a truly entertaining piece of cinema. Was it a bad movie? No not by a long shot. It was fine. There was some good character development along the way and the cinematography was handled well. When the movie was over I was just left with the feeling that, as a native long islander in my mid 30s, the film didnt offer much that I didn't know about the story already. Decent flick, just not necessarily for everyone.
