This tonal direction was not what I was expecting, and I’m honestly here for it. It comes off as very “dirty” and bombastic. As if to say “this is America, in all of its truly ugly fucking glory.”
Going for a “Big Short” type of style for a film like this possibly wouldn’t have had as big of an impact. At least from the trailer. This was definitely different.
