This film suffers, like most other presentations that ought to be documentaries but are made into semi-fictions in in order to spread the story, by a really kak-handed script and dodgy film set ups. Fair enough, the story ought to be compelling - after all, we all know what Teflon (TM) is don't we? However, the over emphasis of the 'difficult' relationship the lawyer has with his firm, the lacuna in the lawyer's memory about something it is claimed really mattered to him as a child. No sorry. Hits the too fake, backstory filling blah blah button. At times, the film drones on as you wait for these formalities to be gotten over with. No actor is especially outstanding, not a surprise as there is nothing to run with. Nevertheless, the film carries an important message though. Perhaps this film should have ended on the occurrence of a separate legal challenge with a different manufacturer elsewhere in the US over other pollution issues. There's thousands of them, and they continue to arise. Nothing is solved. Nothing is changed. The story is eternal.
