Viewing Notes
The scariest thing about this movie is that what used to be a way-out-there satire is now much closer to reality than not. A blistering critique of corporate America and the dumbing down of the populace. It comes across as a bit preachy at times, but it’s still very compelling. The cast is amazing.
