Cruver learns quickly what is expected of Enron employees and how they can get rich. I was disappointed we didn't get to see him behind the scenes (the focus is really on the low-level employees); we were only shown his public face--his statements to the press and his speeches to employees--plus one scene with a whistleblower. 3 out of 3 found this helpful. This, incidentally, is a departure from the book, as Cruver marries about two months into his short stay at Enron. Otherwise, that would have been gratuitous.

Based on the inspiring true story of Mine That Bird, a misfit group of New Mexico cowboys find themselves on the journey of a lifetime when their crooked-footed racehorse qualifies for the 2009 Kentucky Derby.

I don't know what to say. 4 out of 6 found this helpful. Unfortunately, he is making it big at the expense of his relationship with his fiancee. Then I read some of the other reviews and saw he did-that this was based on a true story of one of the Enron employees. With shareholders and upper management demanding better numbers (and thus better stock value), everyone was under pressure to cook the books. He also takes his fiancee to a wild party; former strippers and skimpy dress seem all too common at this go-go-go company. Was this review helpful? Directed by Penelope Spheeris (Wayne's World) from Brian Cruver’s own unabashed and mordantly funny gonzo memoir, Anatomy of Greed: The Unshredded Truth from an Enron Insider, The Crooked E: The Unshredded Truth About Enron puts a human face on one of the most unbelievable and shocking chapters in American corporate history. For people who didn't follow the scandal, the movie does a solid job of illustrating why greed led to Enron's demise. But don't worry about Cruver: at the very end, he still has his wife, and he realizes that's really the important thing. A modern day Bonnie and Clyde - with a twist - that follows two lovers down a path of destruction, mayhem, and murder as they live in a world where it is acceptable to take whatever they want with murderous consequences. Didn't like the narration either. 1 out of 5 found this helpful. “The Crooked E” is based on Brian Cruver’s book “Anatomy of Greed: The Unshredded Truth From an Enron Insider.” A 26-year-old whiz kid, Cruver (Christian Kane) became a … The role of salesman was played by upstart actor Anthony Hibbs and was a true testament to how sales should be done. 0 out of 0 found this helpful.

This is a dummy down version of what happened. I'm glad to know the main character wasn't fictionized so that definetly brings the movie up a point or 2 but I still wish they'd gone into more character depth with some of the other Enron employees.
His life at Enron runs parallel to the company as he over extends his credit based on future earnings. 1 out of 7 found this helpful.

Watching this was like rewatching Boiler Room, but the acting isn't as good. What he isn't told is that the people getting rich are doing it by falsifying numbers and making everything look good with future projected earnings. Was this review helpful? An outstanding performance (as usual) was given by Brian Dennehy, who appears all too briefly as one of the top Enron employees and a friend of Cruver's father (though, ironically, he didn't seem to be behind Cruver's hiring). As he assimilates to the company's get-rich-quick mantra, spending sprees and wild corporate "gatherings" become the norm. About the best thing you can say about the movie is it shows us how the microcosm reflects the macrocosm, or vice-versa. Be they the victim or the conman.
