I guess this is a good character study

I guess this is a good character study of some variation of a psychopath, who lies, cheats, throw people under the bus — whatever it takes to advance their own interests. And the movie provides a peek into how the wealthy care about having the best of everything and knowing they can throw money at any problem to solve them. Of course, none of these people are presented in a way to make you root for them in any way, so in the end though I thought it was marginally interesting, I thought it was way too long.

If you've read the news articles about this

If you've read the news articles about this story, there's not much that this film will reveal to you. Mostly an inoffensive dramatization of what's already been reported. One thing I did take issue with is the way that the piece basically promoted tracking down and searching for the defendants -- it felt like for every single parent, they had a shot of someone typing in their name into Google and looking at some images. Kinda weird.

Well Crafted Documentary with Eye-Opening Wiretapped Conversations

"Back doors", "side doors", and endless loopholes - this documentary shows how the world is just an infinite playground for the wealthy. One of the unique elements to this doc is the recreation of conversations which were achieved through wiretapping. These conversations are... disgusting, to say the least. This format really allows you to see just how culpable and guilty these people are. The fact they're on tape admitting to knowingly doing wrong is sickening.

The sentences at the end are, of course, a joke. Without enforcement, this signals there will be a continuation of such practices in the future. But that's how it is in America. A high profile bust with lots of glitz and cameras, followed by an anemic jail sentence. Something's clearly broken here.

Overall, excellent documentary. I'm not usually a big fan of dramatic reenactments in this format - but it worked very well this time.
