If Greenwald's intention was to make the audience very angry indeed then the film is a resounding success ... it'll definitely make you want to boycott Asda.

Top CriticWhatever Greenwald lacks in style he makes up for with a deluge of facts and figures and a populist feel that make his movies, this one included, accessible even to the most politically naive.

Try though Greenwald might to not end things on a defeatist note, one observation from early in the film lingers: What Wal-Mart obliterates in small communities can never be replaced or regained.

If you think you already know all about how evil and rapacious America's largest retailer is, wait 'til you see this latest exercise in muckraking from Robert Greenwald...
