I saw Vinnie's character with an AP Royal Oak towards the end - and I've always been curious about Bourdain's timepiece in his quick cameo.

I think it is difficult to grasp all the nuances and implications just from the Movie.
I have read the book twice. It is way too complex to grasp in one read. I will probably read it again. For me the key lesson was the level of entrenched institutional (Banks, Lenders, Fund managers, Brokers) dishonesty, incompetence, and greed AND the 'asleep at the wheel' government regulators (including the Federal Reserve) who completely failed to see any problem with what was going on for years. In the most 'free' of all the free-market economies, one might expect this kind of behaviour from financial institutions, but the failure of the regulators to even acknowledge that there was risky behaviour was the thing that stunned me. I won't even mention the behaviour of the 'Ratings Agencies'. That so many culpable people have gone completely unpunished for criminal negligence that affected millions in every country in the world is incredible. You have to read this book.
