Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

This film more than anything was an education to me. I remember hearing about the Enron scandal on the news and what not in the early 00's. The thing is I never really "knew" what was going on. The cool thing about this flick is you don't have to know anything about the subject. The film succeeds at drawing you into the story so effectively that you forget you know how it all ends and just want to know whats going to happens next. Though it should be noted that the film does feel a bit one sided. How could there be another side though? These guys are creeps that robbed lots of people out of there retirement etc.... Well this is true but that doesn't excuse biased film making and one sided reporting.
