| Comments | Themes are mature and complex and deal with issues of corporate greed without accountability. Eco-terrorists fight them, is this right or wrong? There's a blurring of the legality of behaviour on both sides. There could be some scenes that distress younger viewers with an opening scene, which shows birds and sea creatures trapped in polluted waters. It's pretty disturbing. |
