Leave your thoughts about Supercapitalist.
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasWith its minimal settings and focus on the abstract lingo of market transactions, "Margin Call" stands as the new model for how to do Wall Street on a budget, embedding its moral themes in language and complex characters. By comparison, $upercapitalist seems naïve about both the market and the humans who operate in it. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter V. AddiegoWhatever the makers of "$upercapitalist" had in mind, what they've created is a clunky and cliched melodrama set in the world of international high finance. |
| culturevulture.netEmily S. Mendel$upercapitalist" exposes the heady, fast-paced, amoral world of New York/Hong Kong high finance |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleThe dull, hectoring financial melodrama Supercapitalist has all the spark of a high school assembly skit about not letting friends drive drunk. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisDry as new bank notes and doggedly uncinematic, Simon Yin's $upercapitalist approaches the seamy side of international finance with a story as stale as the subprime meltdown. |

| Slant MagazineChuck BowenUltimately plodding and resolutely old-fashioned, a corporate thriller for folks too square to indulge the possible existence of hungers so strong they must be satisfied at any cost. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierFilled with enough clichés to be broken up and sold in pieces as junk material. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerEven caped do-gooders couldn't save Supercapitalist, a dramatic dud whose title refers not to some big-business hero but rather to wheelers and dealers living lives of swank suits, fast cars, loose women, plentiful drugs, and goofy corporate-espionage spy games. |
| Time OutAndrew SchenkerMostly, this DOA movie is an excuse to hammer home that there's more to life than making a shit-ton of money. Take that, Wall Street! |
