Dark Waters [Blu-ray]

I recently watched Dark Waters (2019), and while I found it incredibly eye-opening and important, I can see why some might find it slow or even "boring" in a traditional entertainment sense. This isn't a high-energy legal thriller filled with dramatic courtroom moments—it's a deliberately paced, methodical film that mirrors the frustrating reality of taking on corporate giants.Mark Ruffalo delivers a subdued but powerful performance as Robert Bilott, a lawyer who sacrifices years of his life to expose DuPont’s reckless pollution. The film doesn’t rely on flashy storytelling; instead, it immerses you in the exhausting, painstaking process of uncovering the truth—one that, unfortunately, mirrors real life.While Dark Waters might not be the most thrilling film for casual audiences, it carries an urgency that cannot be ignored. The reality it reveals is horrifying, and the fact that this story is still relevant today makes it all the more chilling. This is a movie that makes you think, makes you angry, and most importantly, makes you aware.If you’re looking for pure entertainment, this might not be the film for you. But if you care about the truth, about justice, and about the impact corporations have on our environment, Dark Waters is a must-watch.Would I call it entertaining? Not really. But would I call it necessary? Absolutely.

My grandmother is from WV and remembers when this happened. It is a chilling story that will stay with you. The actors did an outstanding job of portraying the events that unfolded in this poor town.

includes DVD and Blu-ray. Extras are uncovering dark waters,the cost of being a hero,the real people.english subtitles.

Excellent condition and securely packaged. Arrived within the expected timeframe. Would purchase again from this seller.

Great movie to get great storyline I recommended to get a different perspective on things

This is a documentary. The movie stays very close to the actual story and even has real people from the story acting. Eye opening story- glad to now know what I know from this movie.

This was a great movie exposing the coverup by the chemical industry concerning the production of C8 (the main chemical used in teflon and many other products for decades) and the catastrophic consequences of a coverup..think along the lines of a similar movie from years back titled Erin Brokovich. Ruffalo plays an attorney tasked with fighting against a big chemical corporation who being well aware of what happened in Parkersburg, VA and elsewhere, continued to put profit over public health and safety. Though I do not agree with Ruffalo’s personal political stance on many issues; acting wise he played the role of the attorney well and further brought to mainstream through this movie, the danger of PFAS, PFOA’s and others and demonstrated the lengths these corporations will go to in order to protect profits while maiming the consumer.I will say that if you can, definitely pick up the Blu-Ray. While the DVD version is good enough, after watching this film multiple times, just due to how dark certain scenes are, I regret not picking it up in HD. The DVD version resolution is just too soft (sharpness not there) in my opinion and is grainy on certain scenes.But as for the movie itself; Five stars. Well done.One more thing; Make sure you also check out ‘The Devil We Know’ which is a well done documentary about the same topic.

Great movie
