As The Corporation makes clear, weve come a long way from the days when corporations were assigned to look out for the public good.
This historical development is the point of departure for The Corporation , a clever, well-wrought, entertaining examination of the ways corporations work.

The result is a very provocative film which comes off as dull, repetitive and way too long.
The problem with this movie, and many other movies which try to illustrate a book, is that it tries to cover too much ground.
