Equity – 6.5

This film was doubly remarkable: 1) it based an adventure/crime thriller on an IPO; and 2) all the protagonists were women. Alysia Reiner was a more appealing Assistant U.S. Attorney than Anna Gunn’s investment banker, but both made more sense than Sarah Megan Thomas, whose role needed more filling out to be understandable. The men were all cads. The story gave me the bigger problem: who was really hurt by the insider trading scheme here? where was the crime? did I care? Or, as one character insisted, was it all a game? Props to Reiner and Thomas, who wrote and produced as well as starred.
