Storyline

Most people today believe we are "addicted" to oil. But are we? Is oil destroying our lives the way other addictions do? Newsman turned filmmaker Mark Mathis explores our relationship to oil and what he reveals is a stunning pattern of misinformation, disinformation and even outright deception about this resource that literally runs our lives. Mathis also investigates what is likely to be the greatest challenge ever faced by humanity-trying to run the modern world on less oil. Three years in the making, spOILed blows the lid off our delusions about oil. Fasten your seat belts. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

A Must See Film!

Despite another reviewer's rant against Republicans, spOILed is a very good movie....even if you don't usually like documentaries, you should see this one because it has valuable information that directly impacts you and everyone you know....on top of that, it's very well made....I believe that this is the first film for director Mark Mathis...fortunately, unlike many first time directors, he brings a lot of experience as a television personality and producer, making the film both informative and very entertaining....for the average viewer, the information is shocking....watching this is a great way to spend an hour and half being entertained and learning something at the same time...and for the record, I'm neither republican nor democrat....just an avid film goer who appreciates truth in documentary format and good craft of any genre....I was intrigued for the whole 90 minutes...
