Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2006)

Based on a real life case, the movie Erin Brockovich portrays the grandeur image of one of the greatest law suits in American history. Erin Brockovich is an unemployed single mother who has has never even been in law school. What's more, she hates lawyers! What happens is that she tries to demand a doctor who caused her a neck injury in a car accident and fails in the attempt to win. Brockovich persuades her lawyer to get her a job in his firm in order to repay the loss. Before long, this woman is stuck behind the steps of a million dollar cover up. When the multi-billion dollar corporation of Gas & Electric. The company is trying to secretly buy contaminated lands, dumping all toxic waste into the water supply of the local homes. Erin experiments an incredible series of events that lead her to initiate the biggest lawsuits of American history against one of the nation's most important corporations. I strongly recommend this movie for all movie fanatics, the direction of Soderbergh and Roberts acting are of no disappointment and worthy of something more than just an Academy Award.
