Stretched thin, but still keeping it together, Jim puts the tab on his credit cards, in good faith that his investment with a portfolio manager will reap enough cash to pay it back. The director doesn’t just rein himself in playing Assault on Wall Street absolutely straight-which is, for him, more than a little bit of a gamble-makes for a deadening product.ĭominic Purcell stumbles from scene to scene as Jim, a rock-headed security guard whose faith in the system spirals out of control when his wife, Rosie (Erin Karpluk), is diagnosed with a rare disease requiring $300-a-shot hormone treatments and a swarming cocktail of medicines.
