Title: It's no *Enron: Smartest Guys in the Room*...
Review: This doc follows a political career over its arc. That's fascinating right now, but in 10 years this doc might be utterly forgotten. That's because a political career is not a character. Or at least it wasn't in this doc.Enron did a much better job of tracking the rising hubris and avarice of characters and weaving a compelling story from that.This doc did do a good job of noting the extent to which politics is both petty and owned by big business - without unduly underscoring it or hitting the audience over the head with it.Anyway, it's a letdown after expecting another Enron, but it's still better than 95%+ of the docs out there. At least these guys know the basics of documentary filmmaking, which apparently was written in a single book that got lost in the last decade.
Is the review positive or negative?
