Inside Job (Charles Ferguson, 2010)

8.5/10
Documentary about the financial crash of 2008, narrated by Matt Damon. I thought it was pretty great, very interesting (if a little hard to follow at first, for a simpleton like myself) and probably scarier than any horror movie I've seen in a while. The blame is spread around pretty evenly (none of Reagan, Clinton, Bush Jr. or Obama escape unscathed). There are a couple of moments of Michael Moore-ish schlock that don't belong (I don't need a montage of Louis Vuitton and similar logos to remind me of the things rich people buy) and the ending is a little corny, but altogether a lot better than I thought it would turn out.
