Pulling in award-winning new-school documentary-makers (responsible for such unforgettable movies like Enron, Jesus Camp, The King Of Kong and Supersize Me), the fascinating book by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner dealing with “the hidden side of everything” is translated to the screen with both skill and humour.
The theory that human behaviours are very much driven by incentives cover a range of life sectors most can identify with, and make for one fascinating view (without any car chases or shoot-outs).
