Review:
A good documentary about corporate power, based on a book (same name) by Joel Bakan. It should have been shortened to under two hours. The first five minutes, for example is just a barrage of corporate logos and an uninteresting voiceover. But its worth watching if you're interested in corporations and consumerism. Some nice appearances by a few corporate leaders who are not well known as well as more familiar faces like Michael Moore. Would have liked to have heard more from Noam Chomsky and Naomi Klein. Like many documentaries, its prone to going off topic at times and making big sweeping statements about the fate of society that are not very insightful and weaken the overall message. But its more balanced than many films I've seen on the subject.
