Why watch this film?
A pair of high-frequency traders go up against their old boss in an effort to make millions in a fiber-optic cable deal.
""The Hummingbird Project" is the kind of movie that takes a theme that seems extremely dull at first and turns it into a fascinating and even entertaining thriller. Similarly to the one produced as 'The Big Short', simplifying complex issues, Canadian screenwriter and director Kim Nguyen dives into the chaotic world of the financial market, which has become even more brutal by nearly instantaneous trading, fiber optic internet fairs. The result is a portrait of the relentless greed of the financial world, which sometimes stretches longer than necessary in its plot, but this is relieved by a great cast that includes Alexander Skarsgård ('Big Little Lies'), Jesse Eisenberg (‘The Social Network') and Salma Hayek (‘Dinner with Beatriz')."
