...that, Mancuso and the rest of Wall Street can thank the stalwart individual investor. It was the institutions that sold Monday. Individuals simply never got the chance. Tuesday, the overwhelming response of the little guy was to either do nothing or buy more stock. As mutual-fund managers took note, they realized two things: they would not see a rash of redemptions that day, and thus did not have to worry about keeping a lot of cash on hand; and many stocks were quite a bit cheaper than they had been a day earlier, so maybe they ought...

The federal agents dispatched to handle the situation are portrayed as soulless automatons, and the local sheriff they corrupt into doing their nefarious bidding is almost as dim-witted as Baily (despite heroic efforts at subtlety by Silence of The Lambs's Ted Levine). Costa-Gavras insists that the FBI are simply caught up in the hubbub, trying to do their job as best they can; but when he depicts Bureau snipers blowing away a wax statue of a Native American in a botched attempt to nail Baily, one starts...
