There’s an oily bank executive in this exploration of murky financial misdeeds who forces his co-workers to take part in an ongoing game of Jenga whenever they enter his office. The film-makers could hardly have chosen a more obvious visual metaphor for the high-stakes, low-excitement wheeler-dealing at the heart of this turgid, TV movie-standard financial thriller. Labouring under the misconception that just because there’s lots of money swilling around this world must be interesting, director Meera Menon delivers a crushingly dull series of scenes in which smug corporate bankers shaft each other in conference rooms and expense account restaurants over plates of “Tasmanian sea trout”.
