Good review. The business dialogue is very clever and accurate. The 80's were a time of mega mergers so Law is very accurate in fact w his merger proposition. IT was very real for firms to either get large or become a niche player as the middle is really a dead zone. This and the other popular business transaction of the time, the leveraged buy out -LBO, were the theme of the 80's. Recall 'Barbarians at the Gate'.
So Law is really a product of the times as much as his ambition.
I enjoyed the film for the business aspect alone. Great characters too and he and his wife have a nice "War of the Roses' going on w some very funny dialogue.
Thanks! Yes, amongst other things, ‘The Nest’ gives you an interesting perspective on what motivates the kind of ambitious (to the point of delusion) executive that Law portrays.
