a well made movie but seriously haven't we heard this all before and done nothing about it? wall street and the top one percent of the wealthy have rigged the system to screw the the rest of us. oh, and washington's in on it. depressing.

It is good. Very nice to watch, like a glossy magazine, with Matt Damon coddling us through the tricky stuff, with the help of sexy graphics.

But really all it is a **** you. I don't want to hear about all the people who wouldn't talk to

But really all it is a **** you. I don't want to hear about all the people who wouldn't talk to you. Fine tell me one or two, but the constant "... wouldn't talk to us" doesn't prove much of a point. This is just another documentary that makes you think very hard while you watch it, but like any other movie you walk out with no need to do something. After The Cove winning the Academy Award last year I thought they had sorted their **** out. But no, this is just a movie.

The film is so so. The movie is right to point out the scam perpetuated. However some of the people the movie portrays as "the good guys" such as Barney Frank, Carl Levin and Henry Waxman, Elliot Spitzer were as derelict in many ways as theThe film is so so. The movie is right to point out the scam perpetuated. However some of the people the movie portrays as "the good guys" such as Barney Frank, Carl Levin and Henry Waxman, Elliot Spitzer were as derelict in many ways as the so called "bad guys".

Unfortunately the film attempts to make some blameless while the truth is there is enough blame to go around among Wall Street, Capital Hill, lenders, borrowers, etc. They all had a hand in creating the mess.
