I have watched this movie repeatedly the third time and this is one of the few movies I watch over and over again, the last was Tora Tora when I was in sec 2 about Pearl Harbour.

Reason is, every dialogue in the movie has depth and reflects the mentality of a real person working in wall street. Here you can get first hand realism of the mood and mentality behind someone who punches button to either make or lose 120 mil the next second.

Kevin Spacey acted well in this role, like every top notch trading hancho he protrays himself as affirmative and determined with a sense of integrity despite having to sell worthless assets above par. You should watch his morning speech to the traders where he was able to convince his people to sell above fair value with no swaps.
