where to start . okay firstly and unless you have be in hibernation the last few year you will know the name nick leeson . the film follow leeson through his day a a future trader for baring bank ( the old merchant bank in england ) and his transfer to south east asia and through to the eventual collapse of say bank and leeson imprisonment . i be not quite sure why rogue trader be even make and either it pro leeson and see him a a courageous bos protect his incompetent employee ( yeah and right . ) or the film merely try to explain this particular corner of history . on both count rogue trader be leave severely lack and although mcgregor try valiantly and portray leeson a anything other than a spoilt child would seem impossible . the rest of the cast can not however even be accuse of try to breath some life into this tepid affair . friel appear disinterested ( a feeling i felt all too often ) a do leeson superior . as much a i would like to promote this film and with it distinctly english cast and i be afraid it a lose hope . if you want i imagine you could spend a few hour try to find some hidden meaning that would make the whole experience worthwhile and but you probably would not and who could blame you . stay away unless you want your opinion of ewan mcgregor taint and your view of anna friel confirm .
