The Laundromat (2019, D: Soderbergh) S: Streep, Oldman, Banderas -- Netflix

EXCLUSIVE: One of the hot packages coming together has Gary Oldman, Meryl Streep and Antonio Banderas circling The Laundromat, a Steven Soderbergh-directed drama about the Panama Papers scandal that has a script by Scott Z. Burns, based on the Jake Bernstein book Secrecy World: Inside the Panama Papers Investigation of Illicit Money Networks and the Global Elite. Sources said that Netflix is among those circling the project, which is produced by Burns, Lawrence Grey, Soderbergh, Michael Sugar and First Look Media’s Topic Studios.

The drama is the story of the revelations of reams of documents leaked from Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca in April by an anonymous whistleblower that bared embarrassing details on investments and money trails from politicians the world over, meant to evade taxes.

Just watched this and it was pretty cool. The breaking of the 4th wall was hilarious since it was done by Banderas and Oldman. I'd say it makes for a good tripleheader with The Big Short and 99 Homes.

Meh. I didn't care for this at all. Perhaps I'll give it another go sometime. But I agree with this review.

It was OK. Nothing more. I liked the Big Short much better if we are making comparisons, I did however like the breaking for fourth wall. It was a neat touch. .

It started out good, but it was kind of a chore to finish. Overall, I thought it was just okay. Gary Oldman's character was so much like Werner Herzog, I thought why didn't they just get Werner Herzog?

Well, I was completely fooled.
