Entertainment Reviews:
The movie may do an adequate job of mining what's left of our collective outrage, but it comes up short as an artistic expression of post-recession catharsis.

Washington Post
The movie... captures the frustration of government officials as each hole they patched was followed by an even bigger leak.

Los Angeles Times
Just a dramatized synopsis in which some noble cynics guard our citadel. It is hardboiled-instead of admitting that the egg just exploded.

The New Republic
HBO's rendition of the Wall Street meltdown still manages to feel fresh, entertaining, and even educational. But does it get to the point?

Rating: 2/4 --
Too Big to Fail ultimately comes off as a talky, surprisingly dull drama that all-too-often feels a reenactment on a financial news network.

Reel Film Reviews
Too Big to Fail is a chronicle of recent events... But it fails to transform those events into anything valuable or special, beyond docudramatic re-creation. Ultimately, it's scope is too big, and it fails.

Boston Globe
You feel all the anguish, desperation, humor, and, yes, gallantry of the moment.

Product Description:
Oscar-winning director Curtis Hanson (8 MILE, L.A. CONFIDENTIAL) adapts author Andrew Ross Sorkin's penetrating expose of the 2008 Wall Street financial crisis in this made-for-HBO docudrama featuring an all-star cast. As the U.S. economy hits the skids, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson (William Hurt) finds himself caught up in a critical battle of wills between the key players on Wall Street, and the powers that be in Washington, D.C. With just weeks to go before the country plunges into the most devastating financial crash since the Great Depression, the powerbrokers on both sides scramble to pull the failing economy back from the brink of disaster. Ed Asner, Billy Crudup, Paul Giamatti, Cynthia Nixon, James Woods, Tony Shalhoub, and Topher Grace co-star.
