Review of Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) by Joonas V — 12 May 2010

Moore charges at Wall Street with scattershot results. I've come to expect the fact that Michael Moore documentaries will enrage me, but the anger I felt whilst watching this was surprisingly strong and - as before - made me feel embarrassed to be living in what is supposed to be the 'greatest country in the world'.

Moore tackles the subject - basically how banking organisations control America - well, but lets himself and the viewers down we he adopts his all-too-familiar juvenile stunts, such as trying to perform a citizens arrest on a bank's CEO or wrapping Wall Street in "Crime Scene" tape.

I can't help thinking that his next subject should either be the corruption that lays behind lobbying, or the undue influence that religion has over American politics. Either are certainly ripe for proper investigation.
