        Russell Brand takes us on a enigmatic journey inside the corporate heads and dirty deals of banks as well as the growing capitalist regime dominating worldwide financial markets. You may compare him to Michael Moore, targeting the rich profiteering from there gross income whilst ignoring their financial compensation towards the public on ordinary matters getting away with dirty deeds that have you screaming out 'Guilty". Very fascinating and insightful in scope, with enough radicalized wit and glamour of Brand's own political activism. Caution is advised as well as open minds encouraged when watching a documentary like this.
