Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times The bulk of the material is confusing at best and laughable at worst. Rated: 2/5 Dec 20, 2012 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter This latest in a long line of Occupy Wall Street-minded documentaries suffers from its strident tone and scattershot approach. Dec 18, 2012 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Documentaries don't get more one-sided than "American Empire: An Act of Collective Madness," but what a persuasive side it is. Rated: 4/5 Dec 14, 2012 Full Review Eric Monder Film Journal International When Woodrow Wilson is a villain in your movie, viewer beware! Dec 14, 2012 Full Review Brent Simon Shockya.com A jumbled nonfiction jeremiad of raw-nerve feeling built around ominous and vague proclamations of 'where we're going' as a country, American Empire is like a vitamin B-boosted espresso shot for left-leaning paranoiacs. Rated: D+ Dec 14, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
