Day 306 - Promised Land (American)

Promised Land Poster (2012).jpg
 
"Steve Butler has caught the eyes of top management at his employer, Global Crosspower Solutions, an energy company that specializes in obtaining natural gas trapped underground through a process known as fracking. Butler has an excellent track record for quickly and cheaply persuading land owners to sign mineral rights leases that grant drilling rights over to his employer. Butler and his partner Sue Thomason arrive in an economically struggling Pennsylvania farming town whose citizens are proud of having family farms passed from one generation to the next."
 
Could have been a thousand times better but the film had a clear message. I think with better direction and a less predictable plot would have been better for this kind of movie. I understand making a film about the environment is hard but at least you can harder. Matt Damon did an okay job but he was the same as ever with no real charm. Nobody in this film really stood out to me as everyone was boring and the whole story was kind of rushed.
 
1/5
