Joblo | ‘The Big Short’ Review
Joblo
Adam McKay is a filmmaker known for creating some very funny feature films including Step Brothers, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and The Other Guys. While his latest has a surprising amount of humor, it carries with it a harsh and critical wit that takes us into the housing credit bubble that brought about the Financial crisis from 2007-2010. As funny as this can be, this is a harsh look at those involved in this devastating collapse. It is a riveting drama that takes a sobering approach to the story, concentrating on just a handful of people who saw the downfall coming. With a smart story, and fantastic casting, The Big Short is a fine film that delicately handles the serious tones with a sharp comedic edge.
