Based on the 2010 Michael Lewis nonfiction book that chronicled the few individuals who foresaw theUS housing market crash - and decided to make a profit off it - this wildly entertaining satire can be uneven or strident at times, but director and co-writer Adam McKay taps into society’s pent-up frustration and anger at Wall Street arrogance and lets it burst forth over two very engaging hours. For those still enraged that the financial institutions which orchestrated the 2008 economic collapse walked away without punishment, The Big Short plays like a cleansing blast of outrage and scorn.
