(DOCUMENTARY) Based on the
dynamite and exhaustive book about the
crooked maneuvers of Enron, this documentary confirms what the fictional
Matrix only pretended to prove:
Nothing is as it seems. Watching an incredulous Enron employee ask former CEO Ken Lay if he's
"on crack" during a staff pep talk (around the time the company's devious machinations were surfacing) is almost as gratifying as listening in on the media conference call a few months earlier, when a skeptical analyst demands that Enron head honcho
Jeff Skilling cough up a company balance sheet, only to have Skilling freak out and, to everyone's shock, call the guy
an asshole. (
