...bank owned by the government offers business loans at 3% interest, what does a foreign-based public bank like DeutscheBank do to match that? A government-owned bank can be driven, at least short-term, by policy and not profits. That puts financial firms in the private sector in peril whenever they try to compete.

(He also borrows a Hitchcock trick, from Stage Fright, of showing a misleading scene from the killer's demented point of view.) The movie is nothing above the ordinary, but that doesn't matter to the horror fanboys...
