Took me several viewings to catch on to the scheme about the stock manipulation - Great musical track

I just checked all three of my streaming services, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, and on Amazon found an entirely different movie, released this year, with the same name that I think I'll also watch.

And just added it to my Netflix list.

Thanks for mentioning it.

Oh, and the Amazon one, which I'll probably watch just a bit later, is only 38 minutes, and mostly got very good 5 star reviews.

But I will watch the other one, especially as it's quite short. Probably only available on line.

Many people think working in one of the giant international accounting firms is, well, a bit dull. I worked in the Los Angeles office of what was then a "big 8" (now big 4&quot firm in 1980 and 1981. Our work was almost exactly like the work of Ben Affleck in this movie. Very exciting. I really enjoyed the movie.

He loved it, so I stayed awake the second time. Good flick!
