Review of Promised Land (2012) by Cooper C — 04 Jun 2013
After watching "Promised Land" I am tempted the throw a shoe at the screen every time I see that blond actress in a commercial for "clean energy.".
Matt Damon, Frances McDormand, Hal Holbrook and John Krasinski are the standouts in the fine ensemble cast. The story of how an energy mega-company targets a small town to purchase land rights for fracking is both troubling and rings all too true. The tactics they use are despicable and pointed out all too clearly.
We found the film engaging and engrossing. Shades of "Erin Brockovich" are present.
Many may question the accuracy of the story, but "Promised Land" should be seen by anyone concerned with the growing environmental crisis facing us each day.
