• Poster: B-

Review:

For what it is, it works. Documentaries don't often get great posters, but this one is much better than a lot that I've seen.

• Trailer: B

Review:

The best way to make a documentary feel important is to put it in context. With a strong dose of corruption and wrongs committed for personal gain, the trailer does a satisfactory job of piquing interest in its subject.

Oscar Prospects:

Gibney's been nominated and has won an Oscar for his work, so you have to keep this one in mind for consideration.

Release Date:

• November 5, 2010
