A lot of people will think it's too slow. I don't like those people. I don't see any way that this story could be handled better.
It was particularly interesting to me, because I've been thinking lately about leaving academia (long story). If I did that, the standard next direction would be to become a quant, like Quinto's character, at one of the big banks. A lot of my friends from grad school have done that, both before and after the crisis. I wouldn't say I've been considering it very seriously, but it's been on my mind. I think this movie made it a little bit less so.
