Inside Job Reviews
Both informative and bleak.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 7, 2024
It’s fun to watch the bastards squirm. Yet the film doesn’t follow through on the righteous indignation it stirs up.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 18, 2022
Inside Job by American documentarian Charles Ferguson (No End In Sight) is a valuable, detailed account of the global financial meltdown in September 2008.
| Mar 1, 2021
Pragmatic and infuriating, Inside Job shows how our financial system falls apart when the ruling class is allowed to steamroll over the little guy in the name of wealth and capital.

Inside Job dutifully details the weight of these crimes with an intelligent reserve.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 14, 2018
The end of the film is quite openly dedicated to the 'American Dream,' but Ferguson seems to have proved that this dream is a myth.

Documentary filmmaking is where some of the best investigative journalism is being done today and this is a superb example of the genre.

Inside job is riveting.

Ferguson is so mad he's punching at whatever's in front of him. It's understandable, but this is more polemic than documentary.
| Original Score: B- | Jun 22, 2013
This eye-opening documentary is critical of both parties in its search for answers about the causes of the 2008 economic collapse.
| Original Score: 4.0/5 | Jan 6, 2013
Who whacked the economy?
| Apr 15, 2012
As a documentary, this is a clear-eyed, steadily building prosecution against Wall Street. But, in the end, Ferguson's film is just a moot trial in which the defendants have already escaped scot-free.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 30, 2012
This is a powerful and coherent work that will explain where the money has gone. It just can't help get restitution against those who did it.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 13, 2011
More entertaining than Wall Street 2 while saying infinitely more about the iniquities of those that claim to work for us.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2011
This is a compelling documentary that will have you leaving the cinema absolutely seething.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 14, 2011
Ultimately, Inside Job will not have much to offer those who follow financial news reports.
| Original Score: 46 | Jul 13, 2011
Inside Job offers a concise history in a documentary that speaks to everyone and knows exactly who's to blame.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Jun 11, 2011
Muchos aspectos técnicos probablemente se le escapen a quienes no tengan al menos un conocimiento básico sobre temas económicos y financieros, pero cualquiera podrá entender y compartir las conclusiones a las que llega este contundente documental.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 18, 2011
A forceful argument about the dangers of unchecked greed and brazen lack of accountability.
| Apr 13, 2011
Throughout, the interviewer goes beyond standard bland. From off-screen, his barbed questions are relentless in forcing heads to follow dotted lines and confront inconsistencies.
