| User ReviewMiYon RRaw, odd and fascinating view of selling. If you are intrigued but what makes people tick and the surreality of real life you may enjoy. |
| User ReviewMichael TSundance Channel 5/6/13 "You can't sell anything from behind a desk." The ultimate sales road trip Iraq and Afghanistan to sell his armored cars. Very interesting story. |
| User ReviewDavid UCapitalism at its purest -- Cloer went to Iraq right after the US etc moved in -- and he sold his product, armored cars, successfully, explaining with chilling logic why it is important that people die - so that his products can be improved. |
| User ReviewJustin MA great look at war from the business man's perspective. This guy is pure car salesman! Its just that his customers are world leaders and wealthy people in danger. He does profit from fear and violence but so do the people who make band-aids. I enjoyed every minute of this film. Every few minutes somebody said something that made you go hmmmmm... Little bit of humor, lot of truth. |
| User ReviewOle JThere is business in everything, but this business as they say in the docu is booming. It's an allright docu, it doesn't give much info that you could have deducted yourself, but its interesting to see the timespan and the growth/demand in this kind of business. He is an interesting person, and tells his/the story very vivid, and I think he really enjoys his work, even though it has down sides. |
