Investors seeking new alternatives for high returns find a gold mine in China -- until the discovery of a massive web of fraud calls everything else into question.

Critics Consensus

The China Hustle may not have enough anger to wholly satisfy, but Jed Rothstein's slick documentary is an informative primer on financial fraud on a geopolitical scale.
