The Big Short review

An inside look at the men who predicted the collapse of the housing market in the US.

If you told me when Anchorman 2 released that two years later director Adam McKay would be back with a timely drama that was filled with stars and nominated for multiple Oscars I wouldn’t have believed you. Yet here we are with The Big Short.

And it’s pretty freaking brilliant. McKay and fellow screenwriter Charles Randolph (The Life of David Gale) have taken the kernel of Micheal Lewis’ 2010 non-fiction book and skewed it through a comic lens to create something utterly unique.
