BigdaddyDave's Review
Summary - Good 3.0
Hard hitting documentary that shows how greed, corruption, and status quo created the great financial meltdown of the past three years. In easy to understand language, the film shows how finanancial institutions engaged in reckless behavior that could have easily been prevented, creating the economic ctastrophe that has touched so many of us.
What I found most interesting was the cast of characters, who still lead the headlines today. The very same people who helped to create and foster this epic failure of our economy, now teaching at the nations leading colleges, or serve in governmental roles. When will we ever learn?
Acting - Good 3.0
No actors, but Matt Damon does a fine job in his narration. It was a bit surreal to see Dominique Strauss-Kahn giving interviews from his then-current role as the IMF.

Film - OK 2.5
Direction - Good 3.0
Charles Ferguson takes what could have been a boring financial piece, and breakes it down into something that is easily palatable, and entertaining in its own right. Even for a guy like me who hates numbers.Dialogue - OK 2.5

Did they include the seminal role that Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac played?
