I have this cued up.

I fear that this sort of movie is hard to make work anymore. It's hard to make folks feel like the corporation is beatable, or is even the enemy.

DuPont (and it's seemingly always DuPont) should be convincing enough as a universal villain.

In a stretch, Mark Ruffalo plays a tightly wound good guy.

Mark Ruffalo is amazing in that all his characters maintain the untenable balance of being constantly uptight while simultaneously seeming like they've smoked way too much weed.
