The Film: The based-on-truth story of stockbroker Nick Leeson, whose ambitious eyes were bigger than his financial acumen and led to the downfall of one of the world's biggest banks.

It's a sketchy attempt to round out the man who caused it all.

The Role: The central part of Leeson, mostly because he looks a little bit like him. McGregor gives him a little life outside the scandal, but it's not his best work.

He's limited by the smarmy personality, but scores some nice scenes with Anna Friel.

Tackle Out? A tiny side flash and some moon-happy arse work are the limit. Friel shows a little more skin.
