Brit Marling, Alexander Skarsgaard
Well done thriller about a corporate spy who infiltrates an eco-terrorist anarchist group whose specialty is carrying out dramatic pranks/terror acts. They are crunchy-feely, her employers are hateful automatons...guess which way she starts to lean?
Even though the overall arc is predictable there were many scenes in here that generated real suspense...the poisoning of the wine with a company's drugs at an executive gathering for example. Also, there was a crackerjack performance by Ellen Page who got to show off her chops.
And I have to hand it to BM who co-wrote and starred. She has stormed the hollywood scene and has been creating interesting provocative films unlike the usual fare...Another Earth, The Sound of My Voice. Each film has had a bigger budget and was more complex than the last. Let's hope she continues.
