Rogue Trader: Real-Life ~Wall Street~
For viewers more interested in this story, I suppest Nick Leeson's autobiography which the film is based upon. The book has valuable nuggets like his claim that the BoE's report(him, the lone scapegoat)and the SFO's inquiry were canards lacking the due diligence of the Singaporean investigation & subsequent report.
"Most of us enter the investment business for the same sanity-destroying reasons a woman becomes a prostitute: It avoids the menace of hard work, is a group activity that requires little in the way of intellect, and is a practical means of making money for those with no special talent for anything else."

More excuse than expose, but slick enough
Rogue Trader is a surprisingly slick and enjoyable number just as long as you can overlook its very distant relation to truth about the downfall of Barings Bank in the wake of massive losses and fraud perpetrated by one of its Singapore traders. There's at least two generations who grew up never realizing that producer David Frost used to a vicious satirist, and this is the movie equivalent of one of his interviews, going along with his subjects' account of events no matter how outrageous the excuses become: here he seems to have blown several million pounds providing a celluloid alibi for a dodgy dealer. Thus Ewan McGregor's Nick Leeson becomes a loveable cockney who only got into this mess to save a bullied colleague's job and to save managements' bonuses without disappointing his wife or the memory of his dear old mum. You keep on expecting him to break out into a chorus of Chim Chiminey or start dancing with animated penguins (he's certainly got the blazer for it). Still, with recent events in France the film has aquired a new topicality. Rating:

Great Movie
Great movie about what happens without the proper controls. One trader brings down all of Barings Bank. All based on a true story. Rating:

Excellent Film
I loved this movie. Ewan McGregor was awesome. It shows exactly what can happen if you get too greedy and that you can't borrow from one thing to try to cover another without dire consequences. I highly recommend this film to everyone. |
