Money Money Money

Money might not talk, but it rules (pun intended). Having it makes you being able to do things, get stuff and just overall have advantages over others. This takes many cases of things that actually happen and has quite a lot of star power behind it (or in front of it/camera). Soderbergh does have that pull, so not really surprising.

The quality varies, but overall this is quite decent. There is a message here (or multiple ones I guess),but it still is able to be entertaining. Characters and likeability vary and some will like or hate it for this. But just enjoy an ensemble and some interesting stories - if you can

the rich can get away with anything

"The Laundromat" has a giant cast and a simple message: the 1% can always find a way to avoid paying their fair share. The Panama Papers leak exposed how large numbers of rich people were hiding their money in a tax shelter in Panama. Steven Soderbergh's movie goes deeper into how they did this and the various ways that they avoid any serious prosecution.

In conclusion, there IS class warfare: the 1% against the 99%.

Definitely see it.

Helps Gain Knowledge About Panama Papers And Tells That Crime Does Not Pay

The US investigators are investigating the founders of the offshore law firm Mossack Fonseca. Then the movie starring Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman, and Antonio Banderas called "The Laundromat" was released. The founders - Jurgen Mossack and Ramon Fonseca - sued Netflix of defamation before it was released in 2019. And the story of the Panama-based law firm who are involved in tax evasion through legal loopholes when the 11 million documents of Panama papers was leaked gets more interesting.

"The Laundromat" tells three stories about fictional people that were involved with the law firm Mossack Fonseca and how they were able to help them grow their finances to avoid taxes.Added to that,it also presents how the rich and the powerful sought their services especially in helping them find legal loopholes. As stated in the media, the law firm dating back from the 1970's and have managed to help their clients avoid a total of $1.2 billion taxes.

The movie was interesting as it provides the viewer of a comprehensible knowledge of the Panama Papers. Added to that,we also get to see good performances from Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas as Mossack and Fonseca respectively as well as Meryl Streep as the widow investigating the firm. The narrative provides the viewer a great way of how the offshore law firm operates in terms of money laundering,tax evasion, bribery, and tax avoidance and who their clients are. Added to that,it also allows the viewer to think about amount of taxes that the government is charging an individual: Overtaxed or not? Finally, it also provides the viewer entertainment and gains knowledge of a scam as well as crime truly does not pay in the end.
