Movie #1757 ........................."Laundromat"

Movie #1757 "Laundromat" --- streamed through netflix --- ah, the wonderful world of money-laundering --- and such a topical subject, since several people in our government are probably engaging in the activity (or at least, have been in the past) --- anyway, it's a tough subject to understand, for me, and I found the movie quite useful as far as an introduction to the subject --- I didn't understand all of it, but I got enough of an introduction, and I loved watching Meryl Streep in yet a completely different acting choice.  What I didn't like was Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas constantly interrupting the flow of the film.  I get that the director was trying to do something different as far as transitions, and also to add some humor but to me it was just a distraction, and actually made me turn it off after halfway through.  But then I was told that there was a big plot thing that happened that I probably didn't want to miss, so I went back and watched it.  I give it 3 out of 5 stars ---- an ok introduction, and interesting acting choice for Meryl Streep, but not necessary to see.
