Following in the wake of a year of hard-knock documentaries regarding the ills of the Republican Party and their fearless leader, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room is an effective documentary that recaps the dastardly deeds of a powerful Fortune 500 company and their downfall. There are three villains at the helm of this piece and the only protagonists are the faceless masses that were taken for a ride by the Enron Corporation as it came crumbling down in mid-2001.
The Enron story is not an unfamiliar one to those who follow the national news and two Fortune Magazine writers, Bethany McLean and Peter Elkind, compiled the entire sordid story into a 400-plus page book. Documentarian Alex Gibney has now adapted the unwieldy book into an extremely fascinating movie that deals with the greediness of those running the company.
