Rubbish with Garner whitewashing a real life villain

Highly effective TV-movie with memorable Garner performance.

Rating: 3/5 --
Makes the greedy rich who buy and sell ordinary folks' futures seem almost lovable.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
As a telefilm, Barbarians fascinates; as social commentary, it excels. Making an intricate business exercise both entertaining and engrossing takes lots of doing; it's handily accomplished here.

Description by OLDIES.com:
The 80's... It was a time when everybody was doing the big bucks, but F. Ross Johnson, CEO of RJR Nabisco, has every intention of making a fortune. When Johnson (James Garner) decides to buy out the Nabisco shareholders and take over his company, no one is prepared for what hits the fan. Johnson is introduced to the master of the leveraged buyout, Henry Kravis (Jonathon Pryce) but, afraid of losing the company to this sharp dealer, he decides to make his move with Peter Cohen (Peter Riegert). Kravis, however, is not to be outdone, and begins an aggressive campaign of his own. What follows is a down-to-the-wire battle to see who's really king of the Wall Street jungle.
