Anyone watch this? I thought it was very good. About Bernie Madoff played by Robert DeNiro. Great job by DeNiro.

Saw it last night. Really liked it. Pfeiffer was excellent also.

I think they could have cut 40 minutes out of it and not lost the theme/message.

Still worth a watch for DeNiro and Pfeiffer.

The entire dream segment could have been left out.

Yes. That's definitely where I would have started.

It was just alright. I'm with Doc in that it just seemed a little too long, like they didn't feel they had enough material to make it a full
length movie. Kind of sad about what happened with the sons. Madoff must have been a pretty strange guy, it never once appeared as
if he had any remorse for the whole thing. Even after he was sentenced and turned to his victims he sounded non-plussed by the whole
thing.
