Movie #1155 "Madoff" was a film I caught most of on t.v. last week, and I found it an unbelievable story that deserved to be told. The actors were all very strong, and I thought this was one of Dreyfus's finest roles --- he sometimes tends to chew up the scenery, but this is a character that could be like that. I can't say the film gave me much insight into just how detailed his illegal activities were, but I got the general idea of how he robbed these people (some of them their livelihoods, operations and futures) and just what an unbelievable scumbag he was to his friends and family! I forgot how his one son committed suicide because he was so ashamed. The film goes into all that, and his trysts behind his wife's back, etc. I'm not sure how honest of a portrayal it was, but I also watched the short documentary afterwards showing us the real people and going into more detail on the consequences of this "joker's" dastardly deeds. It was fascinating t.v. watching and better than the debates, for sure.
