The third and hopefully final instalment of the MiFID Trilogy of schlocky B-Grade finance fiction movies directed by Muriel Repartee.

With a working title of ReFit: The Year We Make Amendments, Set in the aftermath of a global pandemic, Derevolutions traces the fortunes of Annabel Lector, a non-commissioned risk officer looking for answers when her partner is crushed in the gears of a systematic internaliser and atomised in the bid/ask spread. The refit of research rules and trade reporting gives her the change she has been looking for.

Shot in anamorphic three-delusional widescreen, the film looked beautiful but left critics strangely cold, the consensus being a plainly out-of-ideas Repartee contradicted the plot of earlier movies and, in a desperate attempt to breathe life into the franchise, relied heavily on superficial special effects in place of properly developed regulatory technical standards.
