This is the true story, based on the book by Andrew Ross Sorkin, about the demise of Lehman Brothers and the crisis that destroyed so many lives in Fall of 2008. This story is about the egomaniac, Dick Fuld, who ran Lehman into the ground, but it is also about the egomaniacs who control the financial markets and Wall Street. This is why I got out of the stock market in 2008, just in time. I felt like it was run by a bunch of crooks and idiots. Turns out, I was right.

anyone who wonders why we got in such a mess as a country.

Paul Giamatti as Ben Bernanke. Awesome portrayal. William Hurt's weasley Hank Paulson is pretty spot on too.

hug Andrew Ross Sorkin for writing such a riveting book that turned into a great HBO movie.

is pretty darned good. James Woods is his usual scary self as Dick Fuld.

if you want a reason to get out of the stock market, this will give you plenty of reasons and then some. It is curious to me that Andrew Ross Sorkin is now a host on CNBC in the early morning. He should be writing another book about what is about to happen with this stupid manufactured Fiscal Cliff.
