Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005)

Here's what I knew about Enron before I saw this doc: there was a big scandal. I know quite a bit more now.

I've never been interested in watching big business news and have never followed stocks -- I wasn't at all sure that this movie would be interesting to me on any level. Despite my ignorance of the subject matter, the movie did a great job of introducing the "players," explaining their jobs in laymen's terms and, finally, exposing the crimes committed.

Extremely well done. Thoroughly engrossing.

B+
