Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: [It] has the virtue of taking the long view of a crisis that recent films like "Inside Job" and "Too Big to Fail" have only sketchily explored. It makes a strong case that government regulation of business is essential for democracy to flourish. – Stephen Holden, New York Times, Mar 1, 2012

Fresh: Though myriad aspects of its story have already been probed in greater depth elsewhere, Frances Causey and Donald Goldmacher's Heist is well timed as a one-stop summary of reasons for ordinary Americans to be furious at our financial systems. – Dennis Harvey, Variety, Aug 28, 2012

Fresh: Ultimately reframing the advancement of free market ideology of the last four decades as class warfare against the have-nots, the documentary manages to widen its scope without losing its narrative thread. – Mindy Farabee, Los Angeles Times, Aug 28, 2012

Fresh: The film provides a crisp, succinct answer to a question that nags most Americans: What the hell happened? – Chuck Bowen, Slant Magazine, Mar 3, 2012
