Looks entertaining.
from imdb:
"The only thing better than Oliver Stone making a movie about Wall Street is having a French dude make a film about trading and casting a very unlikely character to fill the shoes of the bad guy.
In truth, the story for Fabrice Genestalâs Krach feels a tad out of date (though considering the current state of the world economy not exactly out of touch) as though itâs a left over from the late 80s/early 90s but it has one thing none of its predecessors had going for it: Michael Madsen. Yes, Madsen as a big wig on the trading floor of a bank, facing off against the dude he fired for losing truckloads of money. Can you imagine it? I sure as hell canât but thankfully I donât have to because the trailer features lots of Madsen at his office job."
from jdoasis:
"The French have a whimsical knack for unintentional humor that never ceases to amaze me. And you guys are going to want to sit down for this one. On September 1, the movie Krach (which can only be pronounced "crotch" by anglophones) is going to light the trading world on fire - at least in France. I've posted the trailer after the jump, and even if you don't speak French there's more than enough English in it to get the gist of the movie.
This movie looks hilarious, though it isn't meant to. It features a dashing young French trader (cast more like James Bond than a true quant Poindexter) besting his evil American nemesis (an old, bloated, almost-simian Michael Madsen), who fired him for losing a bundle when the kid worked for him.
It is French angst and revisionist cinema at its finest. Presumably modeled after Jerome Kerviel, the French have made him a financial superhero instead of the $3,000 a month GeekSquad employee that he is in real life. The character outwits, outmaneuvers, and outsexes his furiously incompetent American counterpart. And he manages to do it without blaming his superiors and inventing imaginary friends. Mais oui!
Sadly, as lame and contrived as it looks, it will still probably be better than Shia LaDouche's turn in Wall Street 2. Enjoy:"
