This movie isn't a bad watch. It's entertaining and has good acting. The problem is it is based on real events surrounding a convicted murderer, his super-rich friends/partners and their Ponzi scheme. Almost everything about crimes has been changed to make the two main characters more sympathetic.
They treat the two murders as events that got out of control. If you ever watch a documentary on this you find both men were murdered in premeditated cold blood. The actual Joel Hunt is a text book sociopath, not just some kid that got in over his head. A movie that actually showed the ugliness of the events surrounding the BBC would've been much better.
I always wonder why people would want to make a movie based on actual events and then change almost all of the events to create something that never happened. It sort of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? If you want to know the TRUTH about the Billionaire Boys Club watch a documentary and skip this very dishonest film.
