9. Yeah, I saw it last night............
It's been a couple of years since I read the book, but it looked to be pretty faithful to it.

I just wish the movie AND the book would get wider exposure, but that's probably impossible with what we have that passes for mass media.

devoted to capitalist application of the Shock Doctrine to progressively more and more advanced societies. It's come for us or, at least, will be coming for us shortly. I figure next year.

14. Who's in it?
If it's another Mel Gibson revenge-flick, no thank you.

16. Naomi Klein is the only actual cast. It's more of a documentary...
than a movie and she is the narrator. It is well worth watching. The things she points made me sick to my stomach. I will be watching a second time because it was to fast moving to grasp every thing in it.

Every American should watch it imho. Our government has/still is doing horrible things around the globe so that the rich can get richer. In my own humble opinion, America is now just the next victim of shock, it will only get worse for us.

18. If you haven't already, READ THE BOOK..........
It'll provide you with enough background to make the movie easier to watch and understand.
