Vaguely interesting but incomplete
8 May 2005
This film was vaguely interesting, but I am still not sure what Enron Corp. was all about. The film gives the impression that Enron made its money by speculating in the commodity market, although they apparently lost in the market more than they won. The company needed money to operate but it is unclear where the money to operate the company came from. There is a minor reference to power plants that they owned (did they actually own them?).

It would have been more complete if they let us know a little more about Enron rather than concentrating only on the wrongdoings of a few individuals.

The role of Wall St. brokers who played a big part in the deception was given minimal exposure in the movie, mostly depicting the brokers as innocent and unknowing although the brokers did not do their "due diligence" in recommending Enron stock to their clients. The film is worth seeing only if you have nothing else to do and nothing better is playing.
