Dark Waters: Mark Ruffalo vs. Teflon

Big business has taken advantage off the public in the past. Dark Waters is about a chemical company that made Teflon that has been dumping hazardous chemicals in a West Virginian town for over 40 years. Mark Ruffalo plays a lawyer for a firm who represents the chemical company and when a local farmer seeks his help, he uncovers the truth and looks to take on the company.

Mark Ruffalo gives a good performance but he gives every performance in his usual demeanor. Tim Robbins plays his boss who also gives a good performance but nothing outstanding. Anne Hathaway is great as Mark Ruffalo’s wife and is stressed over how this trail that takes over 10 years, takes a toll on their family.

This is based on a true story which is incredible. This was also reminiscent of Erin Brockovich. It’s worth seeing but never fully wowed me. There have been many movies like this over the years.      🍔🍔🍔
