Stunned!

Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2000)

I really don't like Julia Roberts, she really gets on my nerves with her playing the same role in every single film she does.
This is an exception, she was fantastic.
Brockovich is a struggling single mother who takes on a huge corporation and wins millions of dollars for sick locals who have been poisoned.
The strengths of the real life Brockovich are brought through by Roberts, who was excellent.
She was outshone by Albert Finney, playing her boss Ed Masry, who was brilliant also.
A very much must see, this is a well made film that tells a tale excellently.
There was plenty of humour throughout the story, but it was used in its most powerful way - to hammer home the real life story of how these people were treated.
