Review of Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) by Alexandre L — 21 Jan 2010

This is the story of Enron, a legacy that unraveled so fast, that at the the time, I had no idea what was going on. The film manages to describe, in some detail, all the shady goings on. We are given an in depth look at corruption, greed and absent morals.

Money is lost, money is embezzled and it soon becomes so complex that your head might explode. Luckily, the subject matter is so engaging and riveting that you can't look away. Some of those responsible for the mess do come across as tragic characters that have lost their way.

A brilliant piece of work that may be one sided, but surely there's only one side to be on.
