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

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Although it's handsomely directed and competently acted, Too Big, even with its narrow focus on the events of fall 2008, tackles too much story with too little narrative drive.

Las Vegas Weekly
Without taking an partisan position on what happened... Too Big To Fail simply and clearly explicates a chilling moment in recent history. And for that, it has value.

AV Club
Takes a topic that could have felt like homework and turns it into effective entertainment - even if that entertainment might teach you something along the way.

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

Los Angeles Times
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.

Rating: B --
What keeps Too Big To Fail from being a dry run through recent history is its lightning pace, in which the stakes of the nation remain keenly at the forefront.

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.
