Leave your thoughts about Chasing Madoff.
| Village VoiceAndrew SchenkerToo bad Prosserman can't trust his material: Overloading the screen with aesthetic dross, the director offers up tiresome symbolic imagery of blood-soaked hands, burning money, and out-of-focus documents. Rather than amping up the intensity, these fast-cut sequences prove disastrously distracting. |
| Toronto StarLinda BarnardA story as compelling as any detective yarn with an arrogant bad guy who could have come right from Hollywood and a real-life hero on his tail. |
| Boston HeraldJames Verniere'Madoff' Gripping Tale of SEC Malfeasance |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekIf you want a factual primer on Madoff's crimes, you should look elsewhere. But as a portrait of an unusual man, 'Chasing Madoff' is flawed but fascinating. |
| Cineaste MagazineMaria GarciaChasing Madoff takes ninety-one minutes and delivers nothing more than what it hopes to pass off as the story of an unsung, working-class hero. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonA profile of Ponzi-scheme whistle-blowers who tried, for a decade, to interest the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in Bernie Madoff's transparent and ruinous fraud scheme. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghProsserman wisely skirts the esoterica of high finance, though he cleverly uses good visual devices to suggest the shocking scope of Madoff's crimes. |
| Philadelphia WeeklySean BurnsEventually it starts to feel like a parody of an Errol Morris film. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunChasing Madoff is an interesting story. Too bad it's such a mediocre movie. |
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineThis gripping look at dogged but ignored Bernie Madoff whistleblower Harry Markopolos should fuel even more outrage against those charged with oversight who lazily, greedily overlooked what became one of history's biggest financial swindles. |
