Diabolic corporation, naive myrmidon doing their bidding, Environmental bias without scientific basis. If this sounds like your kind of movie then give it a go if you have nothing better to do with your time.
Taking politics off the table for a moment. The acting was decent. The plot was slow and cliche. The characters of the town folk are underdeveloped (there seems to be some utterly against him and others utterly for him and that dichotomy is never utilized beyond brief interactions with Damon), the love interest opportunity is undeveloped and uninspiring beyond the first interaction.
The movie had "promise" in its premise, but it ultimately fails to be anything memorable. This is no Silkwood or Erin Brokovich. It will quickly fade to obscurity and rightly so.
Putting politics back on the table, this is just one more pathetic Hollywood/Damen attempt to dictate political correctness and try to prove how intellectually superior they are to the masses...as usual, it fails. It never ceases to amaze me that people that made the dubious decision to go into a profession where the chances of success are extremely small and thus exhibit poor life decision abilities think they are somehow superior than the rest of us to the point they think their opinions are meaningful influences on the subjects. They are all very very lucky to have achieved the success in that profession. I prefer to be influenced by people that have made better decisions in their past.
SPOILER ALERT beyond here....
I find it quite amusing that the fake photo that proved it wasn't in Nebraska because it had a lighthouse in it was supposedly taken on a farm in Lafayette, Louisiana (which they don't pronounce correctly). Ummm, Lafayette is at least 40 miles inland from the coast thus the presence of a lighthouse would also prove it wasn't from Lafayette either. Moreover, to list Lafayette (population over 120,000) as a small farming town that could be bailed out by natural gas companies is ludicrous. I live 60 miles away and Lafayette is a thriving city that in no way resembles a rural agrarian town.
