Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Based on the Best-Selling Book "Anatomy of Greed" by Former Enron Employee Brian Cruver.
Brian Cruver, an ambitious 26-year-old who lands a job at Enron, is soon dazzled by the company's get-rich-quick mantra and rumors of million-dollar bonuses. As Brian assimilates with the Enron culture, spending sprees and wild corporate "gatherings" become the norm. But when Enron abruptly files for bankruptcy, Cruver discovers he's just a pawn in a failing game of corporate greed--one that made the rich richer...while the rest lost everything.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but not enough Brian Dennehy or Mike Farrell, August 20, 2008
For a movie about naked, corrupt greed that by rights should make you angry, "The Crooked E" is still fun because it won't let you forget it's a formulaic, cheesy TV movie. It's billed as starring Brian Dennehy, but he's really a peripheral character who shows up less than half a dozen times as a mentor of sorts for the main character, a fresh-faced, newly hired Enron underling. Dennehy elevates the movie every time he shows up, though. Because the movie revolves around the underling's ups and downs, Mike Farrell as Ken Lay is also mostly wasted in a largely two-dimensional role, giving pep talks to the troops about the stock even as he was dumping it.

If you go in understanding that this movie isn't about Brian Dennehy's or Mike Farrell's characters, and is rather cliched in its moralizing, you'll have a good time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good ... Needs More Detail, December 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I enjoyed this movie, in a serious sort of way. It was certainly insightful. It would have been good if it had shown the actions of the whistle-blower and the consequences faced by this person. I suppose the ending was somewhat predictable but it was a good movie, nevertheless.

4.0 out of 5 stars This was pretty good!, March 17, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Honestly, I think the more negative reviews are because the subject of the story is so painful to watch. Then again I watched this because I LOOVE Christian Kane. I almost didn't though because it was such a depressing and sad memory but acting-wise, it was really a pretty good movie.

And of course, Christian was excellent. He played a young college-grad who got caught up in the big leagues and big money and ignored the warning signs of pending doom; he was progressively horrible to his fiancee and finally see the big e falling. You had to get through the beginning of the movie but I actually liked it in the end. Worth watching. Well done, CK.
