This is the best documentary I've seen so far -- well written, directed, and executed. There was never a dull moment in this film. I can enjoy watching this documentary because I didn't loose any money with Enron, but I do feel badly for thousands of people who did - their entire savings, retirement pensions, all gone.
This DVD is rated R for a reason. There's nudity and curses. One of the most disturbing scenes for me was listening to the Enron traders' taped conversation about the suffering the people of California was going through - blackouts (and there were several of them) artificially created by Enron:
"Yeah, now she wants her fxxxing money back for all the power you've charged right up, jammed right up her axx for fxxxing $250 a megawatt hour!"
By creating this energy shortage, Enron reeled in BILLIONS of dollars from the people of California. If that's not extortion, I don't know what is. Just to show you, terrorists don't always wear turbans. They also wear designer suits.
