Matt Damon narrates Charles Ferguson's documentary about how deregulation of the finance sector allowed corporate greed to cause the global financial crisis of 2008. And those responsible were not only not brought into account for their actions but most of them still hold key positions in Obama's administration and in the private finance sector. Very chilling indeed!

This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. It made me angry, sad, depressed, and I felt betrayed by by my government and those that are entrusted with my money and your money. This movie targets everyone and backs it up with evidence. Bankers, lawyers, stockbrokers, politicians, intellectuals, professors, economists, Republicans, Democrats, and every president from Reagan to Obama are all to blame for the Great Recession at some point. Never did I feel more galvanized and enlightened before after watching a documentary. This should be required viewing material in every school and town hall across America.

A must see for anyone wanting (and you should) to understand our current financial situation/meltdown and how it has come to pass through many administrations, not just our present one. It is told in a balanced, fair manner that lays blame at both parties feet. This movie would make a great black comedy fiction piece.......too bad for most of us its not fiction

The global economic crisis didn't just start last week. It's been going on for decades. Intended to watch the documentary Inside Job as a quick way to fight insomnia, but instead became enraged over how this mess started, and how 1% of the U.S population profited over banks' failures. The documentary is as dry as burnt toast, but well worth watching.

There is much to be said about Charles Ferguson's new documentary "Inside Job," but the first that MUST be said is that everyone in America needs to watch this. Its not a politically-driven film because it holds no agenda, it values no party over another - it simply deals with the facts: that the 2008 global economic collapse was caused by bills and ratifications made to bills occuring as late as the 1980s. This issue is global, not just here in America. Our economies are connected by the sinewy strings of commerce - what effects one of us effects all of us. This film is wonderfully in-depth and I feel calmer, safer, and more at ease with the facts I learned through this new and powerful documentary.
