Gosling just sticks out to me. The scene where he explains it all to them, telling his assistant his too close and the "quantitative" who doesn't speak English. High diving everyone in the gym. Yelling at the guy in the bathroom that he didn't hear anything. Just the perfect smarmy bag that's actually right.

Like I said, you loved Gosling, I loved Carrell..., hell, you could pick almost anyone. Even Carrell's employee with the baseball bat.
Nobody did a bad job. They knocked it out of the park.
What really impressed me was that, as someone who looks upon this period of time in finance almost academically...they did a wonderful job explaining it for everyone in a simple, entertaining yet accurate manner.
It was the best of all worlds.
Funny, well done, historically accurate but accessible to all walks regardless of their level of prior knowledge or information.
If they'd had a post-credits scene of Anthony Bourdain proffering a 'Chef's Kiss' it might have been the best movie of at least the decade.
