The main focus of the film is the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States in 2008. Through the "justice" analysis of several "post-event Zhuge Liang", the cause of this financial crisis is attributed to the deception and hypocrisy of Wall Street, rating agencies, banks and even the government. Director Adam McKay properly avoided many economic terms and models, and briefly described the "liar's tactics" without being too boring. Although many emotional justice words and complicated background music played a refreshing role, But it greatly reduces the seriousness of the whole film. Apart from complaining about Wall Street and various financial institutions, it lacks the space for frank and rational heuristic thinking.
