The Forecaster (2015)

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Blistering performances.

Highly recommend this movie. It is well conceived and tells a tale of a very complicated financial scandal in an easily understood way without getting bogged down in tedious details. If it is true, then we need to be afraid, very afraid. Martin Armstrongs treatment at the hands of the law enforcement agencies was appalling to say the least. He is a difficult person to understand. I believe he thinks in a completely different way to most of us and is able to see the big picture. I salute his braveness in the face of adversity. That he could come out of prison and carry on his important work without showing bitterness is inspiring .A convincing and well told story of political and financial corruption at the highest levels of government and the banking industry. A real eye opener.

The documentary was very well shot and the director and editor did an excellent job of keeping it insightful and provocative with a fantastic musical score. I was quite impressed with the flow of the film and surprised at the tempo as it covers a vast array of information on Martin Armstrong and his life and struggles. Kudos to the film makers. I was one of the lucky ones that caught a sneak preview in California.Truly a remarkable film about a genius that is becoming a legend around the business world on the level of a "Tesla - John Adams". I have followed Martin Armstrong's career for a long time and used his advice to understand the global markets in a completely different unique manner that hopefully politicians and governments will follow to improve society rather than trying to avoid the same mistakes. I've had the pleasure of also using his advice in my global trading business and also in my personal life and feel blessed that he continues to thrive and share his wisdom especially after so many unfortunate challenges. Keep up the great work. Carpe Diem!!I highly recommend this film especially all the interviews that make it a very personal film, and it is hard to believe that it is not playing all over the USA.

I was registered in stocks, bonds and commodities 41 years ago after completing a grueling training period on Wall Street with some of Wall Streets finest White Shoe firms. I regularly followed the work of Martin Armstrong for my career as an Exchange Member, professional broker, trader, analyst and author of a daily institutional Treasury Bond hedging market letter , known as "From the Floor of the Chicago Board of Trade." People who dream of learning the language finance and desire to view the financial markets through the perfect prism should learn "The Forecaster's " story. You'll never view the world the same again. Martin Armstrong is dialed in like few that ever traded . Come see the world in a way that you never have seen it before in your life. RTF/360

Terrific documentary about a genius who is also a crusader for the public. It's a real pity it won't be screened in the US due to censorship. It appears the big banks also run the entertainment industry as well as the government.What is interesting is that even this site makes it hard to locate this movie. I typed the name in letter for letter and the search engine never prompted the movie.For those lucky enough to see it it will no doubt open your eyes and make a hell of a lot of sense along the way.FOOTNOTE 30/04/2015 - they did eventually screen it in the US for a week!!
