    Terrible. i have no trouble believing these guys are evil, but this is heavy-handed pre-determined schlock. annoying abuse and misuse of tom waits lyrics too. i walked out.

    It’s only by understanding what went wrong that we can hope to recognize the warning signs next time.

    The most blessedly traditional sort of documentary. It follows the twisty, complicated rise and fall of Enron in steady, chronological order, from the mid-eighties to the present.
