En general, la direcci贸n, la producci贸n, el gran reparto, todo funciona muy bien y es de sobresaliente; pero la historia en si, pasado el tiempo nos ha dejado ver que lo que tratan de mostrarnos es una gran mentira. El personaje de Paulson (genial W. Hurt), es totalmente diferente al real (hasta da pena lo mal que lo pasa), pero todos sabemos, y si no, podemos tirar de hemeroteca, que el fue uno de los grandes beneficiados de la crisis y de esa inyecci贸n de capital a los bancos, antes de que esto pasara el estaba dentro de la direcci贸n, luego fue al gobierno y al salir del mismo, volvi贸 a una gran empresa de Wall Street, con un sueldo 1.000 veces mayor, mintiendo en ese "freno" a los sueldos de los altos directivos que seg煤n "dicen" se prohibi贸 en los 9 grandes. (ENGLISH) Overall, the direction, the production, the great cast, everything works very well and deserves top marks; but as for the story itself, with the passing of time it has let us see that what they are trying to show us is a big lie. The character of Paulson (great W. Hurt) is totally different from the real one (you even feel sorry for how badly he suffers), but we all know, and if not, we can go through the newspaper archives, that he was one of the great beneficiaries of the crisis and of that capital injection into the banks; before this happened he was in the management, then he went into government and on leaving it, he returned to a big Wall Street company, with a salary 1,000 times higher, lying about that "brake" on the salaries of top executives that, as they "say," was prohibited at the 9 big ones.
