The stories of this dying breed are fascinating.

This relatively short doc is more than halfway over before it gets around to addressing its stated theme: how computer trading has thinned out the crowd of sharp-elbowed traders by some 90 percent since 1997.

Rated: 2/4

The film isn't pretty -- even the talking-head footage looks a bit hurried -- but neither is the milieu or the era it documents.

Rated: 3/5

Not exactly stock market math for dummies, this horror doc hybrid is nevertheless candid camera capitalism in the raw, penetrating that secretive trader thug life steeped in money lust, booze, designer cigars, drugs, and high end sex on demand.

Very interesting examination of the decline of floor trading in Chicago, it features a lot of interviews about the good old days and some bracing accounts of how people are coping with the precipitous decline in the need for human intermediaries with the rise of computer trading.

A highly entertaining movie. I thought it would be mostly about the nuts and bolts of the industry but it's about people. Some winners. Some losers. Some completely crazy! I loved it!
