Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A hokey but highly entertaining tale of corporate greed that should be especially satisfying if you're pissed off at big business.

It looks to be something less than the sum of its quite interesting parts.

Never amounts to more than a glossy comic book.

As it is, the film takes too long to become truly compelling. It could have benefited from a shot of good old Hollywood pizazz.

Skillfully combines the seemingly disparate worlds of Frank Capra and Oliver Stone.
