SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

devilsr316 I want my two minutes back. Opinions is all I heard...negative opinions at that. I was hoping for a documentary laying out the "case" of the Koch Brothers and "exposing" them if you will...but all I got was an immediate judgment and label of the Koch Brothers being evil. Zero value in a film that starts with its own conclusion/opinion before FACTS are provided.

wspam A documentary and a position piece, editorial or essay are very different. And at best this might be one of those latter 3 but doesn't approach being a documentary. Documentaries are supposed to be like news (not todays news but the hypothetical version taught in journalism schools) neutral in tone, with no intended outcome or reaction from its audience and uncolored presentation of verified facts and evidence. It may have a message or idea to offer but it cant be jammed down the viewers throat but realized or refuted by themselves. I didn't go to J school but I think even position pieces and essays are supposed to have supporting evidence or something showing some reason for their opinion, by that standard Im not even sure this qualifies as that. A more apt title mighta been The Koch Brothers slandered or libeled, I always forget which is written and which spoken, and drenched in innuendo, whatever the reality or anyones opinions of these men this film offers no credible evidence or even semi plausible conjecture on the subject.

Mike Kennerly If you tried to string together 60 minutes of political attack ads against the Kochs you'd end up with something similar to this travesty of a documentary. Rather than examine these complex and difficult issues carefully, the film opts to instead throw up flashing graphics, pictures of the Kochs' homes, and angry protesters. This is no reasoned discussion of the issues our nation faces but a blatant and unabashed hatchet job. If you are biased towards this you'll fist pump but inside you will hate yourself for not actually looking at the issue like an adult. If you tend to disagree with the film as I do you will spend most if the following day restocking your booze supply after having angrily consumed it all attempting to finish the thing. It contributes literally nothing to the conversation and instead perpetuates the pettiness of the political process. Don't waste your time, you can't get it back.

poe426 Is it Poetic Justice or just plain irony that one of the billionaires polluting the planet contracts Cancer? It's not the Outcome that matters, it seems, but the INcome... Mother Earth as a Cash Cow has been systematically milked dry, and we're all going to foot the bill for it in The End (which probably ain't that far off). Watching the slow but inevitable (and agonizing) demise of the people "at the end of the line" should serve as a reminder to ALL of us that NONE of us are, to coin a phrase, mere "collateral damage." (I refer you to the COLLATERAL MURDER footage...) The solution to pollution is really quite simple: anyone who pollutes the Land, Air or Sea should be sentenced to spend the remainder of his/her days right in the middle of the mess they've made. At least that way, things'd work out all around. (And to think that the Kochs were originally backed by Soviet money... Shades of Nit Romney's Bain Capital start-up money, gotten from Right Wing murder squad funders, or Karl Rove's laundering of Chinese triad money through political moneymen like Shel Addelson...)
