What makes this movie work the most is the writing and directing from Adam McKay. This movie manages to be really funny, whilst also being really serious and balances the two greatly. They manage to come up with creative ways of explaining the complicated parts to the audience, but it never feels like has been dumbed down or simplified. Tells a fascinating story and is infinitely rewatchable.
