4/5
This is a film perhaps better suited to DVD, simply because there are thoughts here of such profundity you might feel the need to reach for the rewind button. I, for one, have been left substantially enlightened. Go to Full Review

It's unlikely that Four Horsemen will spark a revolution, but you will be educated and entertained. Go to Full Review

The truth is, The Four Horsemen is really just another documentary digging over the financial collapse. Go to Full Review

11/15/2017 One the best documentaries I've seen. Every human being in this planet needs to see this. See more 08/29/2017 Both Chomsky and Stiglitz praised Hugo Chavez's policies in Venezuela. How many times does socialism have to fail before documentary makers find something else to talk about? See more 08/15/2017 We need more documentaries like this one, questioning the neo-economical western ideals and criticising the currently relevant problems of a voracious globalized planet. The documentary overall has some interestingly relevant criticisms of western culture that has for some reason been set as the standard of living throughout the world in pos-modernist society. Don't take my word for it, please watch the full documentary and form an opinion yourself don't base it on reviews from a website that its ultimate purpose is for moviegoers or movie-watchers to become less adventurous. See more 02/16/2017 Overall, well done. Some detail points are disputable - for example, the documentary-makers appear to place the blame for the 2008 housing crisis on Reagen and Thatcher and "deregulation", with no mention of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - an entirely Democrat created double-headed monster. Nonetheless, with its fairly thorough analysis and emphasis the problems of fiat currency, income inequality, bloated world bureaucracies and debt - along with some possible solutions, it is well worth watching. Better to be reviewed, as there is a wealth of material to consider. See more 12/06/2016 I suspects ones view of this film will be shaped by their level of interest and ideological positions. It fits both in my case. Poor lemmings we are. See more 02/16/2015 Perfectly watchable... though it's heavy on theory and light on detail. There's a lot of asserting rather than anybody actually explaining their viewpoints with evidence or examples. See more Read all reviews
