How one man broke Bearings Bank,
By Mark Antony (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rogue Trader (Widescreen) (DVD)
This film tells the true story of Nick Leeson, the floor trader on Simex exchange,Singapore, who singly handedly broke Barings Bank, in the mid '90's. Of how one mans ambition was overcome by pressures, and in turn, reckless gambling. An incredible aspect of this case was how Leeson covered up for so long, and fooled so many, who it seemed, were so wrapped up in their own company rhetoric they simply wanted to believe in Leeson. The regional manager in Singapore had never even heard of the name of the brokerage house Leeson used to "invent" a trade to cover the missing and ever increasing deficit being incured in the "88888" account, a supposed customer account, but in reality, an back office error account. The pace of the story is very well done here. My only gripe is, for a film with excellent supporting cast, why did they take so little care over the choice of the leading players? Ewan McGreggor is convincing as Leeson only when the sickly scenes with his wife are not on screen, the hoplessly miscast Lisa. Some may find the numerous and fast financial terms not easy to follow. But a fascinating story, with great use of background music.

By Michael Bolts (superior, wiusa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rogue Trader (VHS Tape)
Ewan McGregor proves in this movie as Nick, he is a good actor...nicely done with some memorable moments....dont let this happen to you..if you work in the stock market....and note that an actor named Alexis Denisof plays in this movie...he goes on to play Wesley Wyndham Price in Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel..for all you fans who didnt know he was in this movie..check it out..he has a nice role.
