Movie #1898 "Dark Waters" (Redbox) --- We had a friend who recommended this to us and we missed it when it was in the theatre, so we rented it from Redbox recently, and we liked it. It held our interest through most of the time --- but we must admit, it was a tad tedious and slow at times. The conflict is much like the one covered in wonderful films like" Silkwood," "Erin Brockavitch," and "Class Action." This one is not quite as good as any of those, but perhaps it is because it is a different kind of fight ---- it takes years and years and years. So it is really focusing on how persistent this lawyer is in suing Dupont ----- I ordinarily like Mark Ruffalo in every role I have ever seen him in (which is lots) , but this one he was pretty much frustrated through the entire movie --- the script didn't allow him anything else except a few minutes of anger. His wife Anne Hathaway had a few good scenes that used her acting muscles and so did Tim Robbins, but not Mark really. Steady but good as the lawyer. I'd give this film 4 and it is a film worth watching
because of the subject matter. We should all know what Dupont did, as proven in this film!
