The connection between Naomi and Samantha needs to be tighter so that Samantha's part doesn't drift off so easily. While trying her ass off to be successful with her project, some people close to her try to sabotage her. This is almost good except little false notes keep popping up. Against that, the probing of a college friend turned Federal investment law prosecutor and the conniving of her double-dealing boyfriend seem to be manageable complications, until a betrayal by a trusted colleague threatens to ruin everything. Naomi gets ambitious underling Erin Manning Sarah Megan Thomas for Ed to sign an indemnity clause. The movie fails to increase the intensity in many scenes with the exception of the climatic trading day.
There are moments of greatness especially with Anna Gunn holding the center of the stage. Naomi Bishop is an investment banker determined to overcome a previous stain to her professional reputation, which is a challenge in the male dominated financial sector she works in. Her expression's mostly hard to understand. He just barges in and starts barking at her. I'm fine with people going darker in the end but Naomi needs to be fired as a scapegoat. While I get the female position in the professional sphere, the movie is not pushing the drama hard enough. If the director really wanted to show strong female leads then she should've learned it from Katherine Bigelow.
She can come off as a bit naive despite her brilliant smarts. I love that Erin is secretly pregnant but Ed's pass at her needs to be bigger and more dangerously private. She looks so different in this movie. The characters are under-developed, the movie is slow paced even though it's meant to be a thriller. One of the reason I love Naomi being chewed out by her boss is that there is no buildup. She should tell Ed not to fire Marin and he fires her anyways. Is it just her trying to never let her emotion out? Synopsis Naomi Bishop is an investment banker determined to overcome a previous stain to her professional reputation, which is a challenge in the male dominated financial sector she works in.
. To top all of this the director while trying to create strong female characters has included all the society stereotypes women face just for the sake of it ex. It's already bad that she's sleeping with Michael and gets blindsided by him. Although it's not quite satisfying, I got some knowledge from this movie: the world of stock market. She faces a glass ceiling especially after a problematic previous client. But it got clearer in the half time of the movie I guess. I didn't know what kind of business and troubles she gets herself into.
Against that, the probing of a college friend turned Federal investment law prosecutor and the conniving of her double-dealing boyfriend seem to be manageable complications, until a betrayal by a trusted colleague threatens to ruin everything. The way to heighten the drama is for Naomi to lay out the ending of the movie directly to Ed and for the ending to happen nevertheless. What I hate from this movie is the voice of Anna Gunn. The only good things about this movie is a powerful performance by Anna Gunn and an above average performance by Alysia Reiner. The lesbian relationship between the two characters. The movie started very slow for my taste. This movie is feminist to the core.
I think she doesn't look as feminine as she does in Breaking Bad. Is it what the script wanted her to do? Against that, the probing of a college friend turned Federal investment law prosecutor and the conniving of her double-dealing boyfriend seem to be manageable complications, until a betrayal by a trusted colleague threatens to ruin everything. Synopsis Naomi Bishop is an investment banker determined to overcome a previous stain to her professional reputation, which is a challenge in the male dominated financial sector she works in. I'm guessing Blackberry paid for the mention but it's shockingly unreal how every character is playing up their Blackberry phones. It's like she's whispering while her face has a strong look. This made the conflict fall flat. .
