Movie Haiku:Disappoint doc takes the lazy route: sacrificing analysis from FORTUNE writers (McLean & Elkind) & other experts in favor of oft-seen “perp-walk” shots of Lay, Skilling, Fastow, etc. Too many fascinating questions left unanswered such as what all the “regular” people who worked @ Enron thought they were doing everyday.
