Not bad
Quite watchable for most of the film, but fails when they get to the exposition/reveal part, which all feels a bit forced and a bit weak. Kind of explains what was done but without a compelling why. The return to confinement without social connection as an ending would work a lot better with a reason as to why, otherwise why not just return them to prison.
Dark Waters (2019)
Sure Dupont are the bad guys here, but the film doesn't capture the big bad.
A great and typical film about a US lawyer VS the big guys, when what it should be about is the total failure of government to protect its people. The EPA is totally culpable in this, it allowed corporations to decide what is toxic, and that's the story that really needs telling. Holding government to account is what you should be doing but no small guy vs big guy is the trope we see again and again. Sure its a great narrative, but its not really the whole truth.
