MaryAnn’s quick take…
A British filmmaker documents the arrogance and disdain with which Donald Trump wields the power of his money… a warning for Americans come Election Day. I’m “biast” (pro): cannot abide Donald Trump
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Remember back in June, when Donald Trump flew into Scotland on the day after the Brexit vote to promote his golf resort and congratulated the Scots on voting to leave the EU? (Scotland overwhelming voted Remain.) That golf course, Turnberry on the western Scottish coast, isn’t Trump’s only tiny-ball project in the country: He’s also got Trump International Golf Links on the east coast, north of Aberdeen. Both resorts have been a financial disaster for the guy who keeps insisting he’s such a fantastic businessman, the best businessman — so far, he’s lost almost £26 million on both resorts,...

The first thought that pops into the mind watching filmmaker Anthony Baxter’s follow-on film to You’ve Been Trumped (2011), A Dangerous Game is, can there really be that many people needing to play golf on Planet Earth? The rest is a powerful expose of the usual greed, arrogance and miscommunication that such documentaries are so apt at stoking. This second film is no exception, with the filmmakers getting right under the international skin while tussling Trump’s quiff once more. It’s as thrilling at getting the wealthy’s back up as it is educational and genuinely concerning.
In A Dangerous Game – doubling up as a nickname for ‘golf’ here, Baxter and team (writer Richard Phinney) go up against other corporate ‘villains’, picking up where the previous film/investigation left off, including revisiting at the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Anthony Baxter challenges enquiry findings about You've Been Trumped arrest.
You've Been Trumped, an independent project made on a modest budget, has proven one of the most popular Scottish documentaries of the year. But in taking on tycoon Donald Trump, director Anthony Baxter made an influential enemy, and he and his colleague Richard Phinney were arrested in July last year on charges of trespassing. Now Baxter has received a formal apology from Grampian Police.
Baxter is dismissive of the apology and the enquiry that led to it. "[It] only lends credence to the growing...
