Our take

Just when you think there are no more original ideas, Kim Nguyen delivers an entertainingly eccentric and truly detailed excursion into the world of… high-frequency trading. The wonderful odd-couple dynamic between Alexander Skarsgård and Jesse Eisenberg can make even fibre optics chat riveting.
