Promised Land

After seeing the trailer, I was hoping this movie would be a thoughtful and thought-provoking indictment of fracking and the big-money energy corporations that profit from it. It is actually a really long match.com profile for Matt Damon. "See, guys! Look how sincere I am! I am SO SINCERE! I am SO FREAKING SINCERE IT MAKES YOUR TEETH HURT!" If you don't see the "surprise ending" coming from a mile away, you are dumber than a dead hamster. Almost as dumb as Matt Damon's character, who, despite working for a big-money energy corporation that profits from raping the earth, is surprised like an innocent baby fawn when said energy corporation does something unethical.
