Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
mihai_chindris This is a really, really great documentary, that covers a topic many aren't aware of. It is interesting to see how China has become the villain that never gets caught. What seems like a nightmare for America, is, in fact, a paradise for the Chinese people, that continually feed the beast, which is the money making machine AKA China. Through fraudulent actions, this country continues to surprise the world with its booming economy. I'm curios to see how things are going to evolve and whether we are headed to another financial cris or not.
londonmapper An excellent movie to watch. While the film does make some ridiculous generalisations ("there is no rule of law in China"), it is extremely revealing how nondescript Chinese companies that Chinese investors would not have touched with a barge pole were sold as "the next hot thing" to unsuspecting US based investors.Of course, they could have done some homework and only invested in the 210 massive stable Chinese companies that are listed in the Hong Kong stock exchange or the 40 largest private companies like BYD listed in HKEx, greed seems to have got the better of them. In that case, retired people are no different from wall street bankers, except that the former tend to lose all they have while the latter get richer with 1 in 100 going to jail for seven years.The documentary features excellent interviews with the wayer who represented these firms Mitchell Nussbaum, whistleblower Dan David (who is likable but at times emerges looking like a wannabe Michael Blurry from The Big Short) and Retd. general Wesley Clark who spoke at many of "investment seminars" held from 2008 to 2016 by the lead firm that sold those c#@ppy stocks and is the focus of the film (Roth Capital).An excellent useful use of 2 hours of your life :)
Death An eye opening account of what is going on Globally circling the China growth story. How the American wealthy, and the President is trying to cover up one of the biggest hustles in the history of capitalism. This should be seen by everyone everywhere, even those who don't directly invest in capital markets.
BasicLogic People would tell you if you want make money, you've got to use it to make it. But what we saw in these non-violence robberies committed by fake Chinese IPO companies pitching by American investment brokers to the American public, especially those with retirement funds pensioners or those without pension plans, losing their entire savings were just a no-brainer outcome. There are millions Chinese losing their savings to their cheated investments, lot of them committed suicides since they didn't have a penny left. I don't think the 1.3 billion Chinese all knew it, otherwise there wouldn't be so many losers protesting almost daily in China for their failed investments. So this "Crying Wolf" documentary is just like playing music to the deaf public.Investing on the stock market is like playing fire, sooner or later you'll be burned, same as playing the knife, die by the knife. We never heard people who have made lot of money in stock market complaining or whining, only those who lost money. You have to deal with the consequence.
