It gets its release in the US next week.

I haven’t read the book, but from what I’ve gathered it’s a political nonfiction book. I don’t see how you can adapt that into a movie, unless it has a biographical portion I’m not aware of. Wikipedia says it’s a heist film, anyway.

What would the movie even be about? A positive portrayal of eco-terrorists? I’d love to see it, but surely they couldn’t get away with making a movie like that.

    This is awesome. I can't believe this movie got made. I can't believe that, as soon as anyone got wind there was going to be a movie about militant eco-activists, studios didn't all just agree to re-enact the Hays Code or some senator would lead the charge on getting this movie banned through obscenity laws or something.

    This movie will not be playing at a theater anywhere near me so I'm going to have to wait for it to come out online, but I'm excited to see it.

      What's really surprising is that the movie is actually Very Hollywood in its construction, pacing, deployment of backstory/character motivation, use of misdirection (occasionally clumsy, mind you) - but the form is used for very different ends and stakes than we are used to from these sorts of movies.
