Even after watching the movie, I have no idea how scared I should be.

"The Forecaster" has the distinct hermetic feel of a documentary that employs an echo chamber of people too close to the material.

"The Forecaster," a documentary study of the rise and fall of commodities advisor Martin Armstrong, would have paid greater dividends by taking a more impartial approach to its subject.

fresh:
The story of espionage and duplicity that financial adviser Martin Armstrong relates in Marcus Vetter's documentary The Forecaster is as serpentine and fascinating as a John le Carre novel.
