Carefully crafted performances and taut pacing carry the day.

Rotten
Topical drama about the financial crisis lacks the visceral punch to grab an audience.
Stephen Farber, Hollywood Reporter
Fresh
A methodical, coolly absorbing boardroom thriller.

Spacey is mesmerizing as Sam, a weary, aging lion losing his appetite for antelope. And Irons plays the villain with magisterial ease.
