2 out of 5 stars.
The Laundromat is a similar take like The Big Short movie which focuses on real drama and events about insurance fraud by Mossack Fonseca scandal. Showing the underground of the corrupt financial system. However, the film tries to be fun with a serious matter. The Big Short worked with taking a serious matter and explaining the situation to the audience. The Laundromat fails completely with the insurance fraud scheme. Narrated by Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas which they explain about the underground world of insurance and their way of fixing the system for them to be rich. While people who are trying to file a claim does not see a cent.
The plot is boring, convoluted, and dull. Following several characters. Meryl Streep plays a character who is trying to file an insurance claim after an accident on a tour boat leaves her a widow. The film follows other who are stuck in a world of bribery, corruption, and adjusters who are trying to get rich. The film is not funny. It is more boring and a drag for its short running time.
The script and direction tries to be fun with the characters breaking the fourth wall but fails with a topic that is not interesting at all. The cast is great. They are stuck in a film that does not have any developing story or characterization.
Overall, The Laundromat is a bad film. It is boring. It is slow. It lacks its fun energy which it is trying so hard to be with such a serious topic. This film is definitely a miss.
