《卫报》认为这部影片揭露了一些令人震惊的事实，但是缺少细节。
In these parlous times, there can never be enough criticism of bankers and tame politicians enjoying what Milton Friedman called socialism for the rich. Ashcroft's documentary lands some punches, but it is hampered by a PowerPoint-style presentation. As our western empire declines, he sees four apocalyptic horsemen: crooked finance, terrorism, poverty and ecological collapse. It's all fair comment, with sharp snippets from Noam Chomsky and the FT's Gillian Tett, although the tone is patronising sometimes. Ashcroft unveils some bold cures at the end, but we need more specifics.

IMBD的影评认为这部片子富于美感，不需要高深的经济学知识就能理解。
I had the opportunity to go to the Four Horsemen UK premiere in London and I've been positively surprised.
The documentary is done in an artistic way and the animations very pleasant to watch. So as soon as the film starts you are captivated by its energy. Nothing to see with some boring and interminable documentary.
The different interviewees speak out without sensationalism. Although the film has an opinion, it is also full of irrefutable facts. And you don't need to have a high level of economics knowledge because everything is done to make understanding some complex concepts.
So this documentary can touch everybody. As well the people who question about the current or future problems in the world that people who are just interested in good documentary features.
I can just advise you to watch it! First because the film rocks and also because this is the kind of film which leaves you plenty of ideas.
