Review of Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) by Alex G — 16 Mar 2006

In regards to the title: and it turned out to be a movie.

Also my mood is saucy cause I just ate asian (ho ho ho).

Anyway getting to the movie, I am sure the movie is probably a mirror of the book this was based on. In fact, its probably too similar, something that isn't achieved something all to often.

I liked the movie, it was informative and of course made you sick to your stomach. I learned a lot about the whole situation and reaffirmed my belief to never get involved with that. The idea that you can become blinded by personal success while hurting others is scary. Too bad thats life, but at least its on a much smaller scale.

Its a good movie, not a great movie. I suggest everyone see it due to all the good information it tells, but its not a superb movie by any means. It was only really to hit the main theme at the end. Also, there seemed to be no sense of direction although it was supposedly linear.

The bottom line is that its coverage is a little weak. In addition to the narrator the author was one of the main interviewees throughout the movie. That just strikes me as odd, thats like the writer of the screenplayer saying what should happen out loud instead of showing it some other way.

Just my two cents, prob my worst review(writing wise) but again Im not good at judging documentaries, they can only go so far.
