Lack of good storyline.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

This documentary is about a company named "Sirius Satellite Radio" and some of there share holders, where it should have been about short selling, naked short selling and failures to deliver and use the company as a prime example. Those kind of stock trades are probably the most important subject for the first half of the century (at least in economics), but this documentary miss the target on so many levels.A (good) documentary should start either with a question or statement, then from that there's a process where it explains where and when it starts, how does it evolves and what are the perspectives... Along the way you need to illustrate with examples, interviews, compare situations, describe the main players involved, ...This documentary starts with interviews which makes you wonder for 30 minutes what's the point. After sometimes you'll even think you're watching an ad for Sirius Satellite Radio's stock. Hopefully it gets better, you're finally explained what the subject is, the "how" and the "who". Sadly it doesn't last and you're stuck again with interviews after interviews. Sometimes it's so confusing with the "who's who" that they have to put under the name of the person speaking what is opinion is... It sums up how bad it is.In the end, you get the point but you haven't learned anything specific, it barely scratch the top layer of the problem.

I've seen dozens of economic documentaries in the last few years and this does have a straightforward purpose- educate the layman about stock short selling. And I appreciate it.It does a lot of meandering with the interviews as the other reviewer has noted, but it is a personalization of the fodder for the Wall Street monster machine. A lot of people will relate and be drawn in. I cannot fault it as a documentary at all.This is very relevant.If you don't know what short selling is, lost money in the stock market and don't know why, or want to know one of the many ways Wall Street is a scam and skirts criminality, watch it.Oh- and the fodder for the Wall Street monster machine is investors.
