Quarantine Watch #222: Buffaloed (2020)

I have been a fan of Zoey Duetch for a long time now. She is so adorable, witty, and strong. Her performance here as the fast talking, hustling, debt collecting, ambitious Peg is one of the best of her career so far. This has elements of films like THE BIG SHORT, THE WOLF OF WALL STREET, and 99 HOMES. It was fun and engaging while dealing with the story of debt collectors — which on the surface doesn’t sound fun nor engaging. I enjoyed this one way more than I thought I would. I also didn’t realize that the guy who played Sal was also the writer/producer Brian Sacca (and that he’s the brother of Chris Sacca).
