After reading the book, I wasnt sure what this film would offer. However Ewan McGreggor made the character of Nick Leeson come to life & brought all of the thrill of the story into my living room! I agree with the other viewers in that Lisas character was poorly acted in the film & does not accurately reflect the intelligence & passion which Lisa felt for Nick. I would recommend you buy this film, it is certainly worth the money as a companion to the book - you can watch it time after time & still see something new in it everytime. Good luck Nick!
