Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

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...

Quick look at the DVD-case cover, and even the small intro, doesn't give much value to wait for.But when the film gets into business it becomes great, awe-inspiring with its straight ahead, courageous, disciplined, civil, but also unbending handling of the subject matter.

Charles Ferguson's Oscar-winning look at what caused the global financial meltdown is enough to chill anyone's bones. Narrated by Matt Damon, "Inside Job" shows how deregulation, the rise of derivatives, and the housing bubble coalesced to bring down the world economy. Sure enough, banks thought to be too big to fail did just that (too big to fail means too big to exist). Meanwhile, the executives spent millions on cocaine, prostitutes, and multiple houses. Worse still, large portions of academia endorsed the money-above-all mindset.Basically, the departments that were supposed to regulate Wall Street allowed it to run amok. As expected, Robert Rubin, Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, and anyone else behind the crash declined to get interviewed for the documentary. I guess that if the documentary was missing anything, it could have noted that the unfunded wars in Afghanistan and Iraq caused the US national debt to skyrocket. Otherwise it's very well done. When Ferguson accepted his Oscar, he noted that not a single person behind the economic meltdown had faced prosecution. Five years later it's the same.Everyone should see this documentary.
