Best movie of this year hands down!

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Absolutely Fantastic

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

They say the movie badly, but it's just criticism. Nowadays for me, criticism is just a gauge, but the most important thing in choosing a movie to watch is the synopsis and the trailer before. As for the film, I think it is very interesting and intense, not only by the theme, but also by the interpretation of the main actors like that of the well-known actor Ben Kingsley, who plays a great part, with an extra-ordinary interpretation like never before.

Excellent movie, based on a true story. It's really quite an eye opener. It's right up there in the top of the must be seen movies.

Everybody knew this was a corrupt operation - I was in Baghdad in 97 and met some UN observers one told me when she went to the warehouses to check and they were empty, her bosses said to her "shut up and take your money"....there were some highly moral people hi up in the UN though like Dennis Halliday, Hans von Sponeck and Jutta Burghardt, of WFP who like the other two resigned. A very shameful time for the UN and of course the people of Iraq who still suffer to this day. This story needs to be told and the film should be pushed but it wont be...........

As a movie the piece is nothing spectacular and as such might not capture the average movie fan but for us who like a movie based on real events this is pretty good, to me a true story based movie is almost always better than the fictional one. Before you go saying "you really believe there are 100% true movies" ill stop you right there, no, i do not, but you dont have to take the movie at face value it can inspire you to do your own research about the matter if you are interested. To be frank i dont think i (or you) ever actually heard a 100% true story, human memory is not 100%, rarely anything is, this was close enough to get the point across.This was a very big scandal, there is a reviewer here on IMDB who stated it is a fictional movie and that he/she was actually involved in Food-for-Oil which was nothing but sunshine and rainbows. I have a hard time believing that. Why did the people involved fled, why did all those companies settled and paid enormous fines, just not to go thru a hassle of proving oneself innocent? I am sure there are very fine men and women in the UN who really try to help but any and every organization is susceptible to corruption and UN is no different, where there is power there is abuse of power. I wish there were more movies that are doing scandals of the time past so we dont forget and dont let them repeat.
