In the wilds of Wall Street, one junior banker discovers that the only thing more dangerous than billion-dollar deals are the men signing them.
Bull Run received mixed reviews. Critics noted, "Bull Run arrives as a high-finance existential comedy that trades narrative convention for genuine absurdity...What distinguishes Bull Run is its willingness to embrace genuine weirdness rather than simply documenting corruption." [6] "Smashing their foot on the pedal allows the cast to speed-talk through charming dialogues and monologues, have fun with not-too-vulgar schemes, and keep audiences engaged even if we can’t keep up with every interweaving plotline. Ultimately feeling more like Office Space than The Wolf of Wall Street, Bull Run is a surprisingly fun little film. [7] More critical reviews noted "It's a flashy film with a solid cast and superb blackly comical moments, but it's virtually impossible to care about anything that happens." [8]
