Inside Job

An angry, well-argued documentary about how the American financial industry set out deliberately to defraud the ordinary American investor.
- Roger Ebert, ChicagoSun Times
Indignation is often the most self-deluding of emotions; this movie has the rare gifts of lucid passion and informed rage.
- David Denby, New Yorker
Mr. Ferguson has summoned the scourging moral force of a pulpit-shaking sermon. That he delivers it with rigor, restraint and good humor makes his case all the more devastating.
- A.O Scott, New York Times
This is no dry economics lesson; it is a vital wake-up call.
- Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
