Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Laundromat is a 2019 dramedy detailing the backstory of the release of the infamous "Panama Papers", which brought down the Mossack Fonseca law firm/corporate service provider, as well as revealing details of various individuals' and companies' tax avoidance methods, shell companies and other less-than-scrupulous means of doing business.Similar to other movies like The Big Short, the movie employs several uses of Breaking the Fourth Wall and Unreliable Narrator throughout - with the caveat that these are all (mostly) done by the "villains" of the scandal (Jurgen Mossack played by Gary Oldman and Ramon Fonseca, played by Antonio Banderas) who are attempting the use the movie as a means of clearing their name. Or at least giving their side of the story. There are several different story threads that run through the course of the movie: the main centres on Ellen Martin (Meryl Streep) who was widowed after an accident on a cruise ship, and who desperately tries to track her way through the maze of insurers and shell corporations in an attempt to discover who can ultimately be held accountable for her husband's death. Another deals with a client of Mossack Fonseca who attempts to bribe various family members in the wake of their discoveries of his affairs. Another deals with Mossack, Fonseca and various employees attempting to cover their tracks and hide any evidence of wrongdoing, navigating the law in order to make sure that they don't actually do anything illegal.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by Scott Z. Burns, The Laundromat was released in select theatres on September 27, 2019, before being released on streaming by Netflix on October 18. | |

Affably Evil: Mossack and Fonseca are undeniably charming and amusing in their narration segments...but they are also responsible for exploiting and ruining dozens of struggling people and businesses. | |

Above Good and Evil | |

Above Good and Evil: In their narration, both Mossack and Fonseca allude to this. Several reference are made throughout to the belief of "the meek shall inherit" and they both dismiss it, saying that it's useless to hope for such a thing at some point in the future when one could be inheriting it all now and, strictly speaking, not even really doing anything wrong. | |
