Inside Job (2010)

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I'm a bit late to the party I know and have only just finished watching the 'Inside Job' 8 years on! Wowzers though. Utterly mind blowing content, research and analysis and narrated to perfection by Matt Damon. I'm no business brain but the way the financial crisis was clearly explained and illustrated made it brilliant to follow and even more shocking to absorb. Charles Ferguson and the whole team deserved their Academy Award, as it's just a mesmerising, expertly told documentary. Superb!

One of the best docs ever made and afterwards you will realize that this will happen again. Maybe 2018 already when the Bitcoins and other virtual money will implode. Story tells the link between the 5 former investment banks, 2 fin conglomerates, insurance cos, the rating agencies and how they all put together CDOs, with AAA rating packed as MBS and insured against by the same players by CDSwaps. And more collusion. Enjoy it.

Informative documentary about the recession and global economy as well as crises and bubbles. This documentary is an eye opener to see how economy works in large scale and what is the government role on forming and controlling it.When economy of a nation is in jeopardy they majority within the society will pay the price and it take quite long time for nation to get back on it's feed as a whole. Every individual should know this stuff to some extend so they wouldn't fall pray of politics and bubbles.As they say history repeat itself over and over again and people would never learn...

"Inside Job" is the story of the big bank bailout and all of the criminals behind what happened and how it happened. By criminals, I'm talking about the heads of security firms, and people in the administration, those people.I already knew this, but it bears mentioning again.This is just one nugget. When Bush appointed Henry Paulson to be Secretary of the Treasury, Paulson by law had to sell his $425 million of AIG stock. Thanks to a law pushed through by the other Bush, he didn't have to pay one dime of taxes on it. Not a cent. Meanwhile, the IRS is harassing me to file my taxes (which I am not required to do because I don't owe money) and says if I don't, they're taking away money I receive to help pay for my medications.As the documentary said, the rich have gotten richer, none of these criminals who put through the subprime loans and gave anybody off the street a mortgage has faced charges, or had to return any money.If you aren't aware of what a Fascist government is, here it is, from FDR's speech before Congress in 1938: ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. As one gentleman stated in this documentary, we are a Wall Street controlled government. President Obama promised all kinds of regulations. We didn't get any. Why? The billions paid to lobbyists by Wall Street. In any other venue, this would be considered bribery. In government, it's business as usual. The tax reforms made by Bush helped the wealthiest people who make up 1% in the country. Not you, not me.This is a very depressing look at how the securities firms fought regulation of their scams (which were being given triple A ratings), how the administration, Bernake, the SEC, how everybody looked the other way, how anyone who said anything about regulation was told to keep his or her mouth shut and not pursue it. The same people are still in power. They're paid consultants, they work in the government, they are presidents of universities. They ran their companies into the ground and walked away with millions and millions and millions of dollars. And they plan on doing it again.Watch this, but have a barf bag nearby.
