Inside Job

Acclaimed filmmaker and political scientist Craig Ferguson has decided next, after his brilliant examination of the Iraq War in the 2007 documentary ' No End In Sight ' to tackle a completely different issue, the 2008 financial crisis. His new documentary titled ' Inside Job ' is crafted much in the same way as his previous film; with a calm, cool, collected, and critical analysis of what really happened to our financial system within the last decade. Ferguson doesn't seem to be interested in making politically charged films filled with provocative language and wild accusations. Instead, he simply gathers and lays out the facts as they are, which is something most experts in almost ever medium rarely seem to do. He also seems to be able to get access to people of incredible power, reach, and knowledge, most of which themselves played crucial and sometimes damaging roles in our current economic crisis. Its through these interviews and the directors persistent desire to expose what really happened that makes Inside Job not only the most frightening film of the year but one of the best as well.
