But even though his firm believes Nick is the most successful trader they've ever employed, he secretly begins to steal vast amounts of their own money to cover his risky financial wagering.

My Comments: I enjoyed watching Rouge Trader. Once the film got more into the story of Nick and his risky financial dealings I really felt sorry for Nick Leeson. He actually didn't steal the money for himself. He had got himself into something that was way to big for him..I felt that his wife should have stuck by him and not divorced him. Ewan did a great job of acting Nick, you could read the excitement of it all on his face. I Rate This Movie: 7 out of 10 |
