INSIDE JOB

'Inside Job' provides a comprehensive analysis of the global financial crisis of 2008,
which at a cost over $20 trillion, caused millions of people to lose their jobs and homes in the
worst recession since the Great Depression, and nearly resulted in a global financial collapse.
Through exhaustive research and extensive interviews with key financial insiders, politicians,
journalists, and academics, the film traces the rise of a rogue industry which has corrupted
politics, regulation, and academia. It was made on location in the United States, Iceland,
England, France, Singapore, and China.

This is a very strong, well-done documentary that really has the power, emotional weight,
and logic to upset people and ignite a fire within its audience. The topic is one that is constantly
on the tip of everyone's tongue: the financial crisis our country went/is going through. The film is
powerful because it gathers high ranking officials in the political and banking industries
partially responsible for the crisis, and then not letting them take the easy way out by throwing
them softball questions or sugar coating issues. The director is direct, forceful, and unwavering
in his quest to get answers from some of the people who did our country wrong. Sometimes the
pace and immense amount of detail can be a little overwhelming, but it really just makes you sit
up, pay attention more, and actually use your brain. Inside Job does what every good
documentary should do: induce an emotional reaction. The reaction from this film just happens
to be extreme anger.

Inside Job is definitely a movie that is well-organized and compelling documentary, and
everyone should see it. In fact, they should teach it in schools. A great movie and a should-be
watched by all.
