| a great, but predictably underrated film (by robtromp) |
| This is one of those films that was obviously a labor of love for many of the folks involved. There are some incredible performances, and a great and believable story here. It's the kind of story that deserves to be a cherished bedtime story of the modern age - one of knights in tarnished armor who do what is within their power to resist the relentless pull of greed, selfishness, and fear - and surprisingly live to tell the tale, on a broadcast network no less! One only prays the hope conveyed here is realistic.I am amazed that reviews of under 10 lines are not accepted. It seems that <more> |
| Reason for underrating (by anupviswanath) |
| The movie is underrated, maybe you have seen some moments similar to this in other movies, but this movie is trying to WAKE US->MAKE US->LEAD US- >HELP US understand that privatization should be limited and some things can be bought but not all are for sale. Even in my place there had been moves to Privatise Water, it hasn't been successful yet Kerala,India . And hope it doesn't end up that way. This movie had all the potentials to gain stardom, but might have been brought down and not given much importance by huge profit makers from natural resources. Andy Garcia and <more> |
| I have to wonder why good movies get such poor reviews (by cyorktoo) |
| I enjoy a well-written, well-directed and well-acted movie. This is one.It takes us into a world that we are estranged much too often and it does it with grace and passion.Unfortunately, its lack of distribution and acknowledgment of its kind, speaks volumes for the world we live in.I gave it a ten and wonder why such good movies get such poor reviews and little distribution. Where are the small movie houses that were willing to show films of quality and substance? Now we have corporations, computers and data showing the safest and most agreeable propaganda. |
| An all-star cast (by santangelo-373-192139) |
| This is the best picture Damian Lee has ever made! It deals with a very current and important world issue. The gunfire and violence is not for the faint of heart, although crucial to demonstrate one of our many global issues. A very believable connection between Eva Langoria and Forest Whitaker while Lara Daans plays the role of the "cast aside spouse" with grace and poise. Kim Coates never disappoints and Andy Garcia is great eye candy as usual! The unfortunate performance is that of Deborah Kara Unger. She appears zombie-like throughout the whole film and I am not sure what the <more> |
| WOW! imagine my surprise! (by imizrahi2002) |
| I just saw this movie and thoroughly enjoyed it. And, yes. I agree with the lead review that it WAS formulaic. But i STILL found it enjoyable. If for no other reason than the political/industrial plot at the center of it all. I hope I NEVER lose interest in seeing a movie of this sort, a movie with 'a message'. It's more than funny that people would actually review this as they would a 'regular' movie. alTHOUGH, once again, I feel it worked on both levels. As a piece of entertainment and as an informative piece. I'm pretty sure the makers of the film did it that way to <more> |
| Wake up, guys (by a-a-velo) |
| I've read most reviews here and can only think of one possibility: people don't believe, cause it's too sad. Well, on this matter water privatizing and locals harmed we have another 2 good examples: 1. An Oliver Stone documentary about politics in South America, and 2. A James Bond movie in which the main villain is doing almost the same thing.This movie was based upon real facts. When you're an ocean away from those stuff, the matter seems little. But as a South American, I must say that corporations buying governments causing death and suffering onto an entire nation is <more> |
| A movie that has the possibility to change things. Needs to be seen but plays like a story from 60 Minutes. I say B+ (by cosmo_tiger) |
| "When you can't affect change from within, I mean positive change, you have an obligation if you're at all conscious to get out and try other things." Jack Begosian Garcia is a former CIA operative who is now a talk show host talking about important issues. Bruce Swinton Coates is the head of a large corporation who has just found out about a huge problem with his company and a local African community. When his sister wants him to tell the truth he fights her and she hires Jack to go in and expose what is going on in the country. This is a very important movie that <more> |
| Excellent Overlooked Movie Not To Be Missed (by thisisalbundy) |
| This is one of the best corporate scandal movies ever made. This time it involves a Canadian company rather than a standard typical stereotype American one.Worldwide travelers like me will appreciate the international realistic business environment exposure that includes Canada, South Africa and Ecuador. Plot twists and turns do not disappoint. Scenes look very realistic and portray how real life business and living conditions exist in these parts of the world.The performances are outstanding. Andy Garcia gives perhaps his best acting performance yet in his career. Forest Whitaker is equally <more> |
| Not Excellent but Quite Good (by ilania_a) |
| Perhaps people should read all the credits at the end of the movie to realize that the film was based on real events, and that people who were actually involved in the events were interviewed. The actors were well chosen and gave good performances. Some characters appear in the story without clarifying who they really are, so it creates a bit of a maze of people, not all really essential for the story. But apart from that the plot flows well. Some people, who have written reviews here, did not think that the story is original enough. What worried me about the story is the Canadian connection. <more> |
