Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 10/10 by Andrew SchenkerFor all his film's sober analysis, Diaz never loses sight of the human cost of global capitalism.
Film Threat - 9/10 by Phil HallThe film plays "blame Whitey" by insisting that all economic problems currently facing the people in Latin America, Africa and Asia were created by Western interference.
About.com - 8/10 by Jennifer MerinIt's startling to realize that locales supplying most resources we consider most valuable are Earth's most poverty-stricken spots. The film makes a compelling argument that our economic system is the equivalent of human doom.
PopMatters - 8/10 by Chris Barsanti...uncharacteristically revolutionary among today's issue documentaries, and all the more refreshing for its bluntness.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - 8/10 by Philip MartinA confrontational documentary by neo-Marxist director Phillippe Diaz that explores the inconvenient truth that the gears of capitalism are greased by the exploitation of the weak.
Arizona Republic - 7/10 by Kerry LengelEven if you're convinced by the many well-spoken interviewees, the film's conclusion is almost as depressing as the historical indictment that precedes it.
Compuserve - 7/10 by Harvey S. KartenThough sorely in need of Michael Moore's humor, this leftist documentary successfully skewers the idea that poverty is strictly the fault of the poor nations.
NYC Movie Guru - 7/10 by Avi OfferA timely and provocative documentary, but it's rather dull, poorly synthesized and fails to keep you engaged with an overload of information and a disorganized variety of interviews.
Monsters and Critics - 7/10 by Ron WilkinsonThe most articulate film to date describing the modern means and methods of the free market enslavement of undeveloped countries.
Christian Science Monitor - 6/10 by Peter RainerBecause Diaz constructs his movie like a classroom tutorial, we expect something more from him than an appeal to end privatization.
