"Three-piece" and "thug" deliver powerful performances in this gem of a story.
This has a story's obligatory conflict ramped up beyond the limits of endurance. Undeserved misfortune meets callous indifference, corporate greed and government incompetence.
Thankfully, this movie doesn't preach at its audience. It doesn't have to. The evil is obvious, and the good is, too. But now for my own soap box...
This movie is a commentary on the broken nature of our modern society -- people increasingly turning to government and corporations to offload their own responsibility. But in the end, we end up less free. This is because individual freedom demands us to be responsible. Without that responsibility, we lose everything.
Big, Publicly-Traded Corporations are all evil, by definition. Both the Left and the Right don't understand this, except perhaps for a very few. They have a fiduciary duty to be egregiously selfish, and the Antagonist in this movie is no different. Ironically, such Big Centralized power in corporations loves Big Centralized power in government, and do their best to betray their clients for more profit. Leftist Capitalism is naked in this movie for all the world to see. Liars, betrayers and selfish to the bone. And such corporations hate Free Market Capitalism, taking over the government to protect their industry advantages and to hide their corruption. This movie even shows the lawyer for the Big Publicly-Traded Corporation attacking the small, Free Market Capitalist family farm for making their own profit. Profit is never bad; what a company does with that profit can be pure evil, or divine good. Publicly-traded corporations don't have a choice; privately-owned corporations do.
We need more movies like this to help wake people up.
