Just watching this on BBC iplayer and it has obvious echoes of the Gordon Gekko - Bud Fox interplay in "Wall Street" (1987). A lot of the Michael Shannon character's dialogue - his opening "talk at you" routine on the phone, "don't get emotional about real estate", his speech about how his dad was a hard-working working class failure, the bit where he gets his young protege to follow the other tycoon and see what he's up to - has fairly obvious echoes of Gordon Gekko. We'd need to find a published reviewer who makes said points.Paulturtle (talk) 01:13, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
