Business with humor

Business with humor, nothing better. Great film that combines factually based 1980's greed with a humerus side. Loved it when R & D produced a questionable product, with a distinctive smell and taste

Factual events

I really enjoy movies that were based on factual events because they help to understand the mindset of those involved... and this is no exception

Entertaining Read

Extensive and well researched piece about a deal that defined a decade. Amongst other things, this really helps you understand how Private Equity came about, and why it works in the way it works. Entertaining read that takes you on a wild journey throughout.
