    The Crooked E - The Unshredded Truth About Enron (2003)

    Cast: Christian Kane, Shannon Elizabeth, Cameron Bancroft, Nancy Anne Sakovich,
    Jonathan Higgins

    Director: Penelope Spheeris

    Synopsis: In December of 2001, the largest bankruptcy in United States history was filed.
    Ten thousand people lost their jobs, and even more saw their life savings wiped out.
    In total, twenty-five billion dollars was lost. This is the eyewitness account of Enron’s
    scandalous undoing, and one insider who survived his own personal fall from grace.

    Brian Cruver (Christian Kane, Life or Something Like It) is a bright 26-year-old Texas boy.
    He has the perfect girl in Courtney (Shannon Elizabeth, American Pie), his fiancée, and
    he has the perfect job at Enron, a bankruptcy trading group soaring to number one
    in the Fortune 500. Brash, energetic, and trusting, Brian believes everything that Enron
    Chairman of the Board Kenneth Lay (Emmy nominee Mike Farrell, M*A*S*H) says about
    the company’s dedication to integrity. As Cruver’s salary skyrockets, and as his
    position as senior manager for bankruptcy risk management imbues him with more
    power, Cruver finds himself seduced into a corporate greed machine with no way
    out. But Cruver doesn’t want out—even at the risk of losing Courtney. It’s everything
    he’s always wanted—until he stumbles upon Enron’s secret.

    Review:

    At first the narrator already stated that Enron is the biggest bankruptcy in United States
    history was filed. In short, the audience already know what will be happening on the
    later part of the movie.

    Moving on, early years of the Enron company seems to have great success, in fact,
    they managed to get a skyrocket amount of $90 per share but suddenly in the year
    of 2001, the stock price fall down to merely just $0.20 per share. There maybe several
    reason why the company’s stock abruptly falls just like that. I think the movie should at
    least state or show some reasons why the stock tragedy happened so the audience
    will have an idea on what’s really happening. What observed based on the movie
    was the traits of the employee. They seem like not working at all. They do not act
    seriously in their job. That’s maybe one of the reasons why the company’s stock fall.
    Another one is that the company should be aware of the economic situation and the
    factors of the company’s downfall. They must always monitor and speed constantly,
    instead of wasting the struggle to make a loan to support business stocks although it
    is now a bad idea.

    Everyone should monitor everything that’s happening in the company in the sense
    that the higher management will do such thing to abuse their power and made an
    unethical act. Every employee should pay attention on how corporation operate
    each and every aspect in the company.

    What did the company does after the pronouncement of their bankruptcy was very
    unethical because they act as if their work is nothing to their employee. Those
    employees almost lost everything because they invested so muck for the stocks of
    their own company. So, in return no apologize at least was given or whatsoever. Also,
    another very unethical doing was the 30 mins preparation to leave the company
    premises with their all belongings. They should impose early notice at least 30 days for
    the employee to prepare for finding another job. Not like that, they leave their
    employee with nothing and what was a very unethical act.

    In this case of bankruptcy, I don’t know who should be on top. But one thing should
    be done, that is to investigate and file a case against the people who will be proven
    guilty.

    Overall, the is a great one because it is real life story and may lesson can we get from
    this movie like; be careful of starting a new job, never invest all money at a business
    and finally, investigate the company before investing money.

    We will use it in our life hereafter and also pass it on to your children. These key
    takeaways are essential for building a secure and successful career. Around 4,500
    employees lost their job because of the Enron scandal; therefore, I will be more
    conscious whenever starting a new job and suggest others investigate more about
    the company before starting the job.
