The Wizard of Lies (2017)

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

How sad is this?

Boring

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

If you want to know more about the biggest fraud that ever happened in the USA then The Wizard Of Lies is the movie to watch. The life of Bernie Madoff is not really a thing I'm interested in but I guess for other people it might be interesting. The movie and the acting is not bad. Certainly not the acting with a great cast. Robert de Niro can play anything. But if you're like me and you could not care less about superrich people losing money by trying to get even more money then it might be a bit boring. There is a law for the rich and there is a law for the poor, this movie prooves it again. The Wizard Of Lies is to me just good to watch once, except if you like that kind of stories than you will like it more then I did.

I have never been so disgusted by a performance.Deniro, the things he said here...his view on America's democracy is sickening and frightening.He says he is still fighting for Meryl Streep to get her equal share. Go away snowflakes. 1/10

I don't believe I have ever seen an HBO film before this one but this was a welcome introduction. It was stellar film-making actually, all involved should take a bow and be really proud. The film grips you from its opening scenes and doesn't let go of your attention even after the credits begin to role. Robert De Niro was so good in this, it was like he became Bernie Madoff, in fact the entire cast was so good it was like watching the entire thing unfold in real time. Bravo! And for what it's worth I believe the sons and the wife did not know.

This film tells the story of the biggest scandal on Wall Street, where a multi-billionaire swindles billions out of his customers in a giant Ponzi scheme.What makes "The Wizard of Lies" interesting and captivating is that it does not get into the technical stuff of Wall Street. It focuses on the human side of the characters, namely their thoughts, their hopes and their dreams. The scene when Mr Madoff tells Mark that he is not up to scratch for the business is really heart breaking. Mark's brief and simple responses tell so much, and the viewers are left to fill in the blanks regarding the disappointment and devastation that Mark must have felt. Mrs Madoff's misfortune of being blamed for something she had no involvement in is very sad as well. The whole film makes me feel very sorry for the Madoff family. "The Wizard of Lies" has good story telling, and it has a good story to tell.
