Chasing Madoff
Genre: Documentary
Director: Jeff Prosserman
Stars: Harry Markopolos
Rate: ** 1/2
Recounting the struggle of whistleblower Harry Markopolos and his 10-year attempt to expose Bernie Madoff’s multibillion-dollar scandal, this highly-stylized documentary draws on noir-like black and white dramatizations that seemingly attempt to turn nerdy number-crunchers into Cold War killers. Instead, the device unnecessarily distracts and hyperbolizes a frightening and compelling tale of injustice.
