If you look at the picture, the tag line is “See where all your money went.” YOUR money? This line is just obnoxious, and furthermore, its false: the movie doesn’t demonstrate where the lack of wealth went. Since I am tired of point out the flaws of the movie piecemeal, I submit to you the encyclopidia of all that is wrong with “The Smartest Guys In The Room.” I am not in a position to know how much research Hueston and the other Task Force members actually undertook themselves, but when a prosecutor announces that he used a movie for a guideline, especially a movie that is so badly flawed, we must take an especially hard look at that prosecutor and the case he is prosecuting.

Her romance with Berkowitz was the subject of controversy even during the trial, though she swears now they did not become involved until after the trial was over.įurthermore, John Hueston, another Enron Task Force prosecutor, admits in an essay written about the Enron trial that he used the movie as a guideline for the trial. Mclean has one additional credibility problem: she is now married to Sean Berkowitz, the Enron Task Force prosecutor who cross-examined Jeff Skilling. Like any of Moore’s movies, this one uses distortions, speculation, outright lies, a manipulated timeline that makes things appear to happen much sooner or later than they actually did, the testimony of fools, detractors, and liars, and Bethany McLean herself who is, of course, in the business of selling her version of events to the public.

In fact, both the book and the movie are little more than propaganda, the sort of pap that Michael Moore regularly produces to the applause of a certain sect of the population.
