Excellent look at big business which is all the more effective for not being a lazy "all capitalism is bad" diatribe. Jeremy Irons is ruthless to be sure but he's not wrong - the only way to make a lot of money is to be first, the smartest, or cheat. That's a very effective summary of capitalism. But he also points out that busts and booms always happen (something always forgotten when people talk about the economy).
The line up of actors is very impressive, and everyone gets a chance to shine. I could have done without the Chekov symbolism of burying the dog at the end.
