Unspectacular and realistic thriller drama about an early 80s entrepreneur and his attempt to stay above water within the law. The actors are top notch, although Chastain remains underused. Isaac carries the film with his performance, the plot does move a little slowly at times and there are merely a few adrenaline peaks. Still, overall satisfying and well done. Just don't expect to bite your nails in excitement or thrill.

Excellent performances and engaging story kept me involved. Thankfully, there's more to it than violence!

It kept me interested. Oscar Isaacs did a good job and the storyline was unique. Instead of the lead guy turning out to be a criminal, he did everything the right way... This prompts doing the right thing instead of doing the wrong thing to get things done - I like that.

Oscar Isaac as usual is phenomenal. Jessica Chastain is great as usual. This movie is just ok to me though, I felt like it was just missing something
