Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Jamie Domo When Any Garcia, Forest Whitaker, and Eva Longoria lend their names to a movie, you normally expect greatness. I don't have words for how completely awful this movie is. Yes, it has a point, but it takes wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long to get there. It's as if it was written by a 5 year old child, and acted out by his kindergarten friends. Being from Toronto Canada, I was hoping for a lot more out of a Canadian movie, but this just further stereotypes that we can't make a decent movie in Canada. It literally took me 3 tries to make it through this atrocity. I'd be embarrassed to put my name to this. What a joke. For the love of god people, don't waste your time. Go watch "Hansel and Gretel Get Baked" instead. At least it has character.

ilania_a Perhaps people should read all the credits at the end of the movie to realize that the film was based on real events, and that people who were actually involved in the events were interviewed. The actors were well chosen and gave good performances. Some characters appear in the story without clarifying who they really are, so it creates a bit of a maze of people, not all really essential for the story. But apart from that the plot flows well. Some people, who have written reviews here, did not think that the story is original enough. What worried me about the story is the Canadian connection. Could it be based on what a Canadian Company was doing? If so, everybody in Canada should see this movie.This is the third time I see Andy Garcia, one of my favourite actors, in a film in which he was involved in the production. The other two were about the artist Modigliani "Modigliani 2004", and the second about the life of Arturo Sandoval "For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story" (2000). - It seems the actor wishes to participate in movies that have a meaning for him.

leonblackwood Review: I did have high expectations about this movie, but once again, I got let down. As usual, the problem wasn't with the cast, who all put in good performances, but the storyline was boring in parts and it just seemed to drag. The concept was interesting but the film seemed a bit all over the place. I think that the director was trying to cover to much ground with the politics, thriller, drama and action. Disappointing!Round-Up: It's good to see Andy Garcia back on the big screen because he has been missing for ages. It's a shame that he didn't come back with a better movie, but the film must have seemed good on paper. Forest Whitaker is playing his usual moody self, which is becoming a bit repetitive, but its what he does best. Man, how much has Steven Bauer changed from playing Manny in Scarface? Anyway, the movie could have been much better with such a deep subject matter.

Anup Viswanathan Thampi The movie is underrated, maybe you have seen some moments similar to this in other movies, but this movie is trying to WAKE US->MAKE US->LEAD US- >HELP US understand that privatization should be limited and some things can be bought but not all are for sale. Even in my place there had been moves to Privatise Water, it hasn't been successful yet (Kerala,India). And hope it doesn't end up that way. This movie had all the potentials to gain stardom, but might have been brought down and not given much importance by huge profit makers from natural resources. Andy Garcia and Whittaker has shown great talents and even the Kevin's character I liked when he flipped sides, that was an awesome take and never expected such a twist. Hope movies like this gets more appreciation and more fame in the future.
