Summary: Good thriller!
Review: Good for an evenings entertainment. Predictable by nature. Well acted, reasonable apocalyptic score. If you liked this movie, check out "Dealers" with Rebecca De Mornay available only on VHS it would appear.

Summary: Must see for anyone who trades
Review: Great Movie! Ewan McGregor did a bang-up job impersonating the young hungry trader... move over Charlie Sheen. McGregor really managed to evoke sympathy for his character showing how easy it is to get carried away by success. Note how easy it was for him to dupe his aristocratic superiors... A must see for any trader or I-banker...

Summary: GREAT MOIVE --- Rogue Trader
Review: Great to watch. It just like the moive The money pit, because something go's good and something go's real, real bad.The cast did pretty good job. And the director did a great job too. This is a must see ok. I did and I like you sould see it some time if you like to. This moive is just like the moive called (WAR GAMES) because the people in the moive deal's with computer's. (HEY YOU MUST SEE THIS I DID I LIKE IT)

Summary: The Stock Market? Ho-humm......
Review: I have to admit, when I popped this movie in the DVD player, I wasn't all that enthusiastic about seeing it. But if anyone can make the stock market and investing interesting, it ought to be Ewan McGregor, right? Wrong! Even an energetic actor like McGregor had trouble making a stock portfolio sound fascinating. Sadly, the boredom of watching his character sit at a desk and fret could have been overcome if there had been a real attempt at doing a character study of Nick Leeson and what really made him tick. There had to be more going on beneath the surface of this man than just an attempt to cover for one of his employee's mistakes. But you never really get a glimpse of who he is. On the level of simply getting a buzz from watching my favorite actor, McGregor, it was nice. But I just kept thinking--oh, if only the script had given you something to work with! Too bad.

Summary: REALLY BAD FLICK!
Review: I only watched it for 2 reasons: it was lent to me; and ewan mcgregor was in it. This movie is even worse than Aspen Extreme! It's like watching paint dry...AND HE DON'T EVEN FLASH THE VIEWERS LIKE HE'S DONE IN OTHER MOVIES! Talk about a disappointment!

Summary: Great little film
Review: I say "little" because not much of a splash on the radar when it came out. I am a huge Ewan McGregor fan so I have been on the look out for every example of his work for a few years now. When I first heard about Rogue Trader, amazingly I actually remembered the true story behind it too so I was excited to see the film. The film itself is both exciting and sad. You see a young hot shot getting in over his head in more exotic locales and how far he goes to cover up--to the failure of the British home company. If you want to bring morals into the picture you can see the exact moment where he crosses the line, telling a lie that he can only embellish and make worse until ka-boom, it all falls down. So basically the film doesn't in my opinion glorify the actions of the main character. Ewan does a great job (well he always does in my biased opinion) and I enjoyed the perfomances of all the supporting characters as well. Highly recommend.

Summary: Good....
Review: I understand that this book was based on Leeson's own account, but despite that it gives a good view of his foolishness and culpability. However, I can't see some other former Baring's employees being too happy with this. As with another reviewer, I work in banking, namely providing IT support to the front and backoffices. The stress shown in this film on both sides is very realistic. I saw this on a friend's video and will buy the DVD myself.

Summary: Scary

Watching this movie actually stressed me out because it could
so easily happen to the company I work for.

Summary: Exellent acting!
Review: If anyone is looking to see how a real actor develops a character, watch this. And even if you just want to watch a really good movie, watch it. It was one of the most refreshing movies of the year.
