Keith Uhlich Time Out It’s fun to watch the bastards squirm. Yet the film doesn’t follow through on the righteous indignation it stirs up. Rated: 3/5 Dec 18, 2022 Full Review Vadim Rizov Sight & Sound Inside Job is far more watchable than it should be. Mar 1, 2011 Full Review Philip French Guardian I've only scratched the surface of this intelligent, riveting and informative film, which I cannot commend too highly. Feb 22, 2011 Full Review Michael Leader Den of Geek Both informative and bleak. Rated: 4/5 May 7, 2024 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site Inside Job by American documentarian Charles Ferguson (No End In Sight) is a valuable, detailed account of the global financial meltdown in September 2008. Mar 1, 2021 Full Review Rocco T. Thompson Screen Rant Pragmatic and infuriating, Inside Job shows how our financial system falls apart when the ruling class is allowed to steamroll over the little guy in the name of wealth and capital.

Jon G A great documentary on the 2008 financial crisis. T shows deregulation never works. Our country is a plutocracy. I like to think things will get better. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Audience Member Interesting movie to watch. Finance is boring, but to watch the extent of the conflicts of interest, between the people in a position of trust such as economics teachers at the most respected business colleges in America, and the lack of culpability towards admitting that they themselves make a the majority of their living off misleading people into financial disarray is disgusting. It's an important watch to see through some of the veils of bs that the American financial sector continues to project. Protect ur 💰 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Edward M "Unfortunately, this film suffers from glaring issues—poor research, bias, and unintelligent questioning. I spent more time cringing at the interviewer's queries than engaged in the content." Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Shael A real slice of life with the tragic details of recession brought on by human decisions. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Tony S A stunning expose of the corruption in the financial services industry, the federal government that is supposed to regulate them, and Ivy League universities that supply expertise and manpower to the federal agencies that regulate the financial services industry and who sit on the boards within that same industry. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review Moody C In the end, both parties are out to screw you as people with power and money naturally do throughout course of history Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
