Enron dives from the seventh largest US company to bankruptcy in less than a year in this tale told chronologically. The emphasis is on human drama, from suicide to 20,000 people sacked: the personalities of Ken Lay (with Falwellesque rectitude), Jeff Skilling (he of big ideas), Lou Pai (gone with $250 M), and Andy Fastow (the dark prince) dominate. Along the way, we watch Enron game California's deregulated electricity market, get a free pass from Arthur Andersen (which okays the dubious mark-to-market accounting), use greed to manipulate banks and brokerages (Merrill Lynch fires the analyst who questions Enron's rise), and hear from both Presidents Bush what great guys these are.

| Reel.comTimothy KnightIt's a gripping, frequently infuriating story of greed, hubris and 'creative' accounting that unfolds as a tragedy laced with scathing black comedy. |
| Hollywood ReporterJames GreenbergNot only a great cautionary tale, it's a civics lesson that should be seen by every concerned citizen. |
| Detroit Free PressTerry LawsonAllow yourself the pleasure of being thoroughly entertained while being equally outraged by this movie. |
| EmpireHelen O'HaraDespite the talking heads and grainy blow-ups of TV footage, the film boasts some rather gorgeous cinematography and moves briskly, with the interviews masterfully edited. |
