Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
... View MoreA lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
... View MoreLike the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

And they are created above all by the UK and north American governments (although the Canadian featured contrives to set one up in the UK jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands, not in Canada). Even Singapore, which is pretty tax-haven-friendly, manages more constraints against outright piracy than the English-speaking nations.A series of talking-head interviews, some putting the case for allowing tax avoidance (or evasion), mostly pointing out how damaging it is for society as a whole.The best gag, very subtly illustrated: a tax-haven advocate complains that the Tax Justice Network and suchlike as having no economic expertise. Then each critical speaker is shown with their background and pedigree: they come from the likes of McKinsey, the big banks, the audit firms, academia. The difference is that, having seen how the scams happen, they see the harm done and seek to prevent it. And of course they have expertise by the bucket- load.Sole problem: when does it come out in the UK or the US? It can't only be in France. As a UK citizen watching in France I was ashamed.
