Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times Husband-and-wife filmmakers Gerard Ungerman and Audrey Brohy pack their film with information that will not please anyone frustrated by the ubiquity of space-hogging, gas guzzling SUVs. Rated: 3/5 Jul 21, 2005 Full Review Anita Gates New York Times Most of this is old news. And the filmmakers never make a coherent case, at least not to the layperson. As a result, the film, which runs about 90 minutes, seems painfully long. Rated: 1.5/5 Jul 18, 2005 Full Review James Crawford Village Voice Gives muckraking journalism a bad name. Jul 12, 2005 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site The Oil Factor places the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq-in fact, the entire so-called 'global war on terror'-within a definite geopolitical context. Feb 15, 2021 Full Review Luke Y. Thompson New Times offers nothing that any mildly news-savvy viewer doesn't already know Aug 19, 2005 Full Review Andy Klein Los Angeles CityBeat A good refresher course for those whose antidepressant prescriptions aren't about to expire.

Audience Member A good story and great animation I normally go to adult movies. But once in a while, with my little daughter, we decide to go to the theaters to discover the magic of animation. I do frequently criticize movies that do not have strong stories. And animated movies are part of those. But the four movies of Tinker Bell are outstanding. Not only because of the animation or the creativity involved in every situation, but specially because the story is normally so strong, and the characters are so well defined, that a sense of emotion comes from me and my family at the end of the movie, and when any movie touches you in some way, it has achieved its goal. Totally recommended for families and people who wants to discover something new in a classic story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review delysid d black gold! texas T! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/27/19 Full Review Audience Member The most interesting part of this film is the on the streets footage of Baghdad and surrounding areas. I guarantee you've NEVER seen this on network TV. Lots of interesting interviews and speculations about overall USA/ Oil Companies long range goals for explotation of oil of not only Iraq but also the region and the ongoing strategic games between USA- China and Russia. The film makers did bungle a page out of The Peak Oil Theory play book as they speculate by 2010 North American oil production and resources would be depleted. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member mention some intersting facts and some probably unknown truth,.... but today I think that at least in europe we are informed of the unnecesserity of this war and the intrests that the important world players had in it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Very important and influential movie. Some deductions are not explained adequately to suit my skeptical mind, but the bulk of the evidence is enough to show that the plan to invade Iraq existed LONG before 9.11.
