Paul A @RT33568071 Oct 26 Samuel Taylor Coleridge popularised the Greco-Roman theatre saying about the suspension of disbelief where we are prepared to overlook improbabilities in order to enjoy the narrative. Yes, I’m sure such cases of corporate negligence and local environmental terrorism for profit has happened, such as the case involving Teflon, but I don’t know if it would happen in the way portrayed in the film. But I found myself instead wholly sympathising and empathising with the central character whose farm has been polluted by the oil company for 10 years. We focus not on the legality of the case and what the firm would do to hush the victim up, but on the plight of the victim of this level of corporate greed and what they do.

See more Jamie S @DarthJSha 11/20/2023 I don't understand why this movie has such low ratings. This movie was actually really good. I usually can't stay engaged in legal drama, but the comedic moments in the movie kept me engaged in this one. The actors were really good. I really enjoyed Haley Joel Osment and Kate Bosworth's performances. See more Dave C @RT09838700 08/28/2023 It's unbelievably messy! Its transitions are too chaotic for the writing to hold up, and the writing is convoluted to say the least, so it'd be hard work regardless. A shame, because at its core lies a pretty big issue… it just gets stuck in its own gloopy waste product See more 02/07/2023 Acting was good but every direction they were going for seemed half assed . Dark comedy ? No laughs . Corruption and greed movie ? No one seemed that involved or we weren’t given enough backstory or a reason to care … 2.5 See more andrea c @Charst 04/20/2022 Generalmente, quando si entra nel genere legato al dramma giudiziario, la qualità dei film è molto alta e così come l'apprezzamento che generano, sicuramente facilitati da storie vere emozionanti e piene di dettagli da raccontare. Purtroppo questo film delude sotto tutti i punti di vista; la trama è raccontata in modo raffazzonato e poco dettagliato, i personaggi sono stilizzati, piatti nei loro modi esagerati e nei loro comportamenti teatrali. In alcuni passaggi la trama è anche poco chiara; alcuni personaggi poi sono utilizzati come oggetti, pur restando bizzarri nei comportamenti, non viene raccontato nulla della loro storia.
