Another good British film about money

"This movie about English currency traders is exciting and intense. If you are a trader and in need of motivation, you should definitely see this movie. What I liked about it was that it showed the ups AND downs of trading, hence a bit of realism. For instance, what is a trader's life like when he is unemployed? It can be grim, as depicted. However, the realism is balanced by a somewhat implausbile scenario where US T-Bills went from 98.00 to 88.00 in less that 10 minutes. I don't think that kind of volatility has ever hit the US bond market. Nonetheless, a great movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. It would have been much better if they showed Rebecca DeMournay naked."
Good exposure of the Financial/Stocks trading mean

"Awesome is the beginning of this movie, shedding light
into corporate Britain. The life of Financial dealers
is shown and their breaking point is exposed.Daniel Pascoe, maverick trader, has a difficult
time when his maestro and compadre Robby Barrell
is fired off the company. Still he finds how to
overcome difficulties. Once problems are over,
comes the time to think whether the perils
and stress are worth it... Meeting beautiful Ann Schumann lets him understand what
"having all" means.The music is glorious (and hard to find,
unfortunately!)Oh my, I wish this existed on DVD!Something else: Perhaps from the same studio, they
realized later a tv series on the very same location
(I guess the series didn't pay off... and it wasn't
half the emotion of the movie... that should be the
reason why now only low-end government stations
broadcast the program...)"
Great movie!

"If you are interested in movies about corporate scandals and suspense, this is one to watch. It's about a currency broker who commits suicide after he has lost over 100 million dollars in the markets and it's up to the stars of the film (Paul McGann and Rebecca DeMorney) to mark up the loss in a wild and crazy roller coast ride in the currency markets. It has a good story line and if you like "Wall Street" and "Boiler Room", you will love Dealers."
A bit unrealistic, but very entertaining

"This is a great movie. The actual market stuff is a bit overdone - watch the market move in the climax scene - but it's definitely entertaining. It's in my library and I pull it out at least once a year. Wall Street is great, but I would actually put Dealers slightly above it."
