Movie Reviews of Barbarians at the Gate
Movie Review: Great (and timely) must see movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an HBO-made movie I originally saw back when it came out. I recently thought about it, as we are experiencing similar corporate greed issues, but now which are affecting the entire world. I enjoyed it as much as I remember I did originally. And James Garner is outstanding! I wonder how long it will be before the next great, similar movie is made? Though this one will have to inject politics into it. Mmmm ... yummy!
Summary of Barbarians at the Gate
When the ceo of nabisco decides to buy out the shareholders and take over the company no one is prepared for what hits the fan in this comedy about big business and big bucks. Studio: Hbo Home Video Release Date: 02/03/2004 Starring: James Garner Joanna Cassidy Run time: 107 minutes Rating: R Director: Glenn JordanThis HBO original comedy, adapted by Larry Gelbart (Tootsie) from the book by Bryan Burrough and John Helyar, concerns one of the most compelling tales of corporate buyout madness in the go-go 1980s. James Garner plays F. Ross Johnson, CEO of RJR Nabisco. Following failed and expensive efforts to sell a smokeless cigarette to the public, Johnson decides that he's had enough of navigating around the wrath of the company's stockholders. Drawing up plans to buy RJR Nabisco outright, he soon finds himself outmatched (though still determined) in a race for the prize with takeover king Henry Kravis (Jonathan Pryce). The ensuing battle is both bitterly funny and full of acid-tinged insights into the '80s greed that changed corporate America forever. Besides Gelbart's great script and Glenn Jordan's competent direction, the star of this exciting film is Garner, who is absolutely wonderful as the gracious Johnson. --Tom Keogh
