HBO's Wizard of Lies Should Have Been Under Two Minutes Long, So We Edited it Down
Entertainment
HBO’s much-hyped Bernie Madoff movie—the one that starred Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer, not Richard Dreyfuss and Blythe Danner—premiered over the weekend. While it did very little to help me understand exactly how Madoff’s $50 billion Ponzi scheme actually worked, Wizard of Lies is an expectedly slick-looking biopic that reminds its audience just how much tragedy was left in Madoff’s wake.
