Really hard to care about any of it.

It's a fairly entertaining drama and it's a shame this movie has almost been lost to time. I thought it was destined to be a cult classic. The cinematography isn't great and it feels like the lower budget movie that it is. You also get the feeling it isn't as taut as it should be and it falls short of other stock market classics like 'Wall Street' and 'The Big Short'. However, Ewan MacGregor delivers an engaging performance and it's very watchable.

Loved it. I work in derivatives imo this is must see and then watch Trainspotting after

I cannot imagine anything worse than owing money, and such amounts as this guy was losing bogles the mind. My stomach was in a knot just watching it. Excellent acting by McGregor, who manages to make you like him despite the damage he's doing.

'Rogue Trader' is an unappreciated gem. It basically works as a biopic mainly focused on the final days of Nick Leeson's considerable employment. McGregor shines in this fun character study.

This movie highlights how you can feel sorry for somebody who is clever, aimed to high, and became to proud to admit his mistake. It's down to McGregors likeableness that wins the audience over.

Rogue Trader is a true story about Nick Leeson, the young trader whose crimes brought down Barings Bank, one of the oldest banks in the UK. The film seems like a low budget production, but demonstrates the early acting talent of Ewan McGregor. The sound and audio are somewhat weak, and there were times I wish that subtitles were provided. Perhaps this is simply because it is a British production and the English accents are difficult to comprehend when being muttered quickly. Although this appears to be a low-budget production, the film itself is realistic and does convey the anxiety as Leeson's trading losses come closer to becoming revealed. The film demonstrates how sometimes executives are willing to overlook logic and system controls in pursuit of greed and the exposure that is created in the process. I found this to be a true depiction of events. In contrast, I found that "The Big Short" film seemed quite an untrue depiction despite the factual material. This is a good, straightforward film for financial and securities enthusiasts.

Interesting to see how Nick Leeson bring down England' s most respected merchant bank. Ewan McGregor is very good.

The story of how people side with only those during their best times and not when they need them the most.. There was nothing but instant hatred for the 'wife' character in this movie.. But it also shows, that Rogue Trader Nick Leeson had a lot of heart, which we as normal human beings lack..

Money Drives All Sorts Of Maniacal Behaviour. This Is But One Example Of How One Mans Drive To Prove a Himself, Brings Down The Bank! Literally!!

This film is too short to explain how Nick Leeson lead the Barings Bank to its doom. Despite a good performance by Ewan McGregor, the film fails to create suspense or show how Leeson got stuck in a series of worse and worse losses.

Pretty good but depressing.

Critically dismissed, but still....this is a swift, diamonds-for-dollars thriller with good to great performances from Mcgregor and company. Highly Recommended for fans of Wall St and Boiler Room.

I caught this on IFC before and was bored to death and may have not even finished watching it but McGregor was pretty good. Still if an actor is decent in a incredibly boring movie what merit does it hold?

Biodrama that gives the inside look at how a good man can go bad....really bad. This is a great example of stupidity, and how bad choices in life can create downward spirals. This man took the ride all the way to the bottom..

wow this film is became one of my subject study in class of risk management and it is very interesting topics that brought us to know what really happened on the world that day. and i very enjoyed to watch it again.

Cada minuto pode ser o ultimo. Ewan McGregor vai fundo e nos mostra o conflituoso mundo dos negócios.

Very good movie. Ewan was excellent in it (: I'd really like to read the book.

Actually wanted to see this for years but now I have its actually really, really dull! i knew what it was about so I knew it wouldn't be captivating but I didn't even find it interesting to find this out, just really bored. McGregor was Ok though.

The arrangement of the director successfully portrayed the stressful environment in a trading environment, hauled by greedy sharks that wanted only profit. The entire story is fully illustrated, while the actor and actress might not be impressive in the movie. I would say the director is managing a very good storyline, with the enticing environment when someone traded in huge amount of money and won it. It could also be killing when losing out money and haunted by greed, not necessary by oneself but by investors that funded the smart trader. A good movie for people to ponder about wealth and health.
