Thought Provoking

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2000)

I went to see this movie because of Julia Roberts. I think she is a very gifted actress and a "pretty woman" also. I had not heard of this case so this movie brought a lot of things to light, like how rich companies feel they can break the laws and harm people and get away with it to save them money as if they can't afford to fix the problem. Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to fix the contamination than to pay out these huge monetary awards? Anyway, I thought this movie was well written and acted. I loved the bits of dry humor to make this movie "not so serious". This movie reminded me a little bit about Karen Silkwood and also about the movie Civil Action. I rate this movie a 9 out of 10.
