Good actors, nice style, sometimes funny, interesting. Again some good explanations and examples about how short selling works, recap about the US housing bubble, rating agencies and the whole finance industry in general.
I can think that probably the point of this film is to make people get rid of their naive view of the financial market/industry? E.g. in my case I always tended to think that it involved cause&effect / action&reaction but this does not seem to be always true.
It triggers indirectly a lot of thoughts about many other themes (e.g. is self-regulation effective, impact of governments getting rid of existing regulations, complexity and interconnections in the financial markets, risk analysis, etc...).
