Review of Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price (2005) by Luke B — 04 May 2009
It's excellent at getting it's point across. However, this is mostly hateful propaganda, that is simply the opposite of Wal-Mart's own lovey-dovey advertisements. It raises some excellent points, but seems to go off like some mad old man towards the end.
Wal-Mart have such hate aimed against them that in the segment on crime outside their stores it seems as though Wal-Mart are the ones committing the offenses. The film also doesn't have the balls to attack Wal-Mart customers.
It shows at the very end how communities can oppose the construction of a store, but what about these communities where local stores die out? It's a lot easier to turn people against a huge company rather than themselves.
