"This is one of the highlights of the week. It is not often you get an opportunity to watch Monopoly and Russian roulette played by some of the richest and most ruthless men in the world." David Chater, The Times

"It was fascinating to see a smear campaign conducted on such a grand scale... Forbes previously made the well-received series The National Trust so he must have felt at home with all this secret politicking amid pots of money. And like that series there were unexpected laughs." Ian Johns, The Times

"It sounds like the plot of the next Bond movie, but it's real life... There was something about Berezovsky that reminded me of Bob Hoskins - short, tubby, balding, fond of a laugh. But it was hard to know what drives him... however much he went on about freedom and criticised Russia's human rights record, you couldn't forget the man's own past... It was interesting to spend time with a man who, thanks to his huge wallet and iron will, seems able to topple governments - or at least make them nervous... This thought-provoking film suggested that, whatever their motives, men with millions can make things change. It's people like us who have to live with the changes." Matt Baylis, Daily Express
