Movie Reviews of Barbarians at the Gate
Movie Review: Funny, Entertaining and Based on Reality
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie is very well done. I have read the book, and seen the movie several times. The book does a great job of describing the situation and providing a blow by blow account of the RJR takeover. The movie provides an entertaining interpretation on the book itself.
While the filmmakers take some artistic license and based the film on reality without completely adhering to it, the movie itself is both a very funny and a reasonably accurate portrayal of the book's themes and characters.
A good movie, good for laughs, and even better when you remember that in general, it really happened...
Movie Review: A Unexpected Hit
Summary: 5 Stars
James Garner is at his best in Barbarians at the Gate, This is a video that should been seen by all. One can't quite believe that this is a true story. You question if the excess' in the movie were exaggerated, I assure you thery weren't. It is a ture faxt that when the RJR Nabisco head left Atlanta, for a Golf Match in Palm Springs, they all took their own private jets. 23 in all. Watch how Garner tries to buyout Nabisco, and see what happens when he gets some stiff competition. This is a ture story, but it and you will enjoy.Movie Review: Comedy goes Wall Street
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a TV production of a true story, based in the book of the same name by Bryan Burrough and John Helyar about the biggest corporate takeover of the eighties, the Nabisco acquisition. James Garner is simply the perfect choice as the Nabisco CEO who try to buy his own company and in the way he sets a good blend of mistakes and laughs. Historically accurate is comedy in Wall Street with a 'Gran Final'.Movie Review: How do you make a $50 stock worth $110
Summary: 5 Stars
Before Bernie Maddoff and all the crooks of the 2000's there was KKR and F Ross Johnson. What a look inside the art of deal making and how much we the people shouldn't know about how multi-billion dollar deals are actually done. Great acting, every character played by a great star, no dull moments. You will end this movie shaking your head. And remember this was BEFORE Maddoff. Will we never learn.Movie Review: I could see this movie over and over
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie, particularly for someone interested in true stories of corporate behavior. Several of my finance professors when I was pursing my MBA recommended this movie. I was not disappointed.Due to a high volume of profanity, this movie is not appropriate for young children.
