.DeadlinePete reviews DarkWaters
“Whistleblower” has become the hot word of the moment; I probably hear it uttered in one way or another 15 times a day in these times. But what it really means comes home in a big way when you see a single heroic whistleblower in action — someone like Robert Bilott, the lone lawyer who has waged a David-vs.-Goliath war against Big Chem and specifically DuPont for two decades now and counting and against all odds has made a positive impact on our lives.
This comes in the form of PFOA, a forever chemical that is creeping into our air, water and bloodstreams, notably even in Teflon cookware. Eventually he gets his boss, Tom Terp , to join in his solitary fight, and the battle to save lives and defeat their own client becomes one for the ages.
Ruffalo never overplays it, always remaining respectful to the quiet, white-collar legal warrior he is portraying. He’s a hero in the vein of Atticus Finch or Woodward and Bernstein, and it is a great tribute to the real-life fighter who still continues to win millions for victims of this corporate negligence even today. Robbins has some powerful scenes as well, as does Anne Hathaway as Bilott’s wife Sarah, a woman who begins to feel her husband’s quest will ruin his career and their family.
