Louis Theroux bravely tries to take on scientology but does so tangentially as none of the Scientologists want to take part in a documentary. This means we are only left with possibly disgruntled ex members' accounts.

We do get to witness some of their scare-tactics though. Luckily Theroux is more confrontational than I've ever seen him before and is unflappable - often beating them at their own game. The most intersting person in the film is the ex "enforcer" of Scientology who now suffers the same type of harassment who used to deal out.

It's a shame none of the practicing Scientologists took part as they may have come off better that way. Weirdly funny in the way fans of Theroux's TV shows will be familiar with.
