IMDb writes, "A salesman for a natural gas company experiences life-changing events after arriving in a small town, where his corporation wants to tap into the available resources." Written by Matt Damon (Bourne Identity) and Jon Krasinski (The Office). It is light even for a sort of environmentalist movie. Damon is the salesman who works with Frances McDormand (Fargo). Hal Holbrook (That Evening Sun) is one of the farmers in the small town.. During a town meeting he stands up against natural gas and the technique of fracking. Little does Damon know Holbrook's character has a degree from MIT and once did R&D for Dow. Damon's character realizes he has a problem on his hands - it won't be an easy town to convince. Krasinski plays a would be environmentalist -there is twist toward the end that I didn't see coming. The handsome Titus Welliver has a small but memorable part - I miss him and his character in Deadwood.
All in all, I say: RENT IT. There is no need to see it in theatres, but it is good.
