Great movie! Scary but insightful. Worth buying! I have loaned it out already.

Director Todd Haynes has crafted a pure legal thriller that excels in every sense of the genre. While rather straightforward on the surface, Haynes utilizes this sly tactic of maintaining a low key tone and subdued visual aesthetic that, as the film builds, the power of what is unfolding sneaks up on you making the gut punch of the truth to power moments genuinely effective. Ruffalo matches Haynes beat for beat in his performance as environmental attorney Robert Bilott with the power of his performance not coming into full effect until the credits begin to roll and we realize there is no happy ending here; that the difference between justice and compensation has become a line so blurred that a company has been able to buy there way out of and continue producing and making a profit from a chemical now found in every human on the planet. A disease-causing chemical that cannot be extracted from your blood, I might add. Dark Waters is not only compelling and exquisitely crafted, but is terrifying as hell. A true wake-up call to a nation that has subscribed to the fact everything they consume probably causes cancer in one way or another. It's a shame this will get overlooked come awards season and not because it deserves the prestige (though it does), but because it won't be afforded the publicity that would garner more interest from the average movie-goer. It's a shame more people won't see this because I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I did.

This film has some actors that I simply have to watch perform. I don't care what film they are in, they are in a class of their own and I watch their work. Mark Ruffalo is one of those actors. He is a transformative actor. He can become ANYONE and I forget immediately that he is Mark Ruffalo and I believe he is the other person on screen. This is a very well done film and his performance is stellar. Tim Robbins has a very good role and does well at it. Haven't seen him do a good film since "Shawshank". Anne Hathaway is always fun to watch and Bill Pullman's character is a different turn for him. For me it was definitely worth watching, but once I knew the ending I didn't feel I needed to own it. I wouldn't repeat view this film. It isn't one of those films to me. Make up your own mind. The point is: SEE IT.
