A new eco-thriller film, based on a book by a Swedish author, focuses on the
need for direct action to address climate change. The film follows a group of
activists who plan to destroy sections of an oil pipeline in Texas, hoping to
inspire others to join their cause.
Despite my own biases, the film succeeds not only because of its politics,
but also as a finely crafted, fast-paced thriller. It doesn't
shy away from the catastrophic situation we
face and identifies those responsible for it.
The film's message is clear: hope remains if humanity takes a stand against
the machinery of capitalism. The cinematography and score are compelling, and
the young cast delivers uniformly good work. This is a film that deserves to be
seen, and its message heeded. |
