Hope you’re all ready to be horrified, sad, and fucking
furious today, because we’ve got a whopper of a real-life dramatisation to talk
about right here. Following in the footsteps of his righteous turn in the
scathing exposé Spotlight, star and producer Mark Ruffalo is once again
playing a man taking the fight to a large-scale conspiracy, one that starts out
in a little pocket of rural Americana but then reveals its tendrils all over
the world. However, rather than systemic cover-up of sexual abuse, this film
deals in something that might outweigh even that in terms of genuinely
hideous behaviour: A chemical manufacturer who wilfully contaminated a vast
majority of American citizens, and by extension a hefty amount of the global
population.
