The East (2013)

Genre: Thriller
Directed by: Zal Batmanglij
Cast: Brit Marling, Alexander Skarsgard, Ellen Page
Running time: 101 minutes



Jane works as an operative for a private intelligence firm called Hiller Brood and she is given the task to infiltrate the ranks of an Eco-Terrorist group called The East. Her goal is to expose them as corrupt, but she soon comes to sympathize with the members of this clan, who seeks revenge on rich polluters.

While the cast is clearly talented and the premise offered much promise, something got lost along the way in the delivery. It started off nicely, but I totally lost interest in what became a convoluted mess of a story. Very disappointing film.
