PROMISED LAND

Director: Gus Van Sant   USA, 2012, 107 minutes; PG; with Matt Damon, John Krasinski, Frances McDormand, Rosemarie DeWitt

In Gus Van Sant's urgent, heartfelt environmental rabble-rouser, Matt Damon plays Steve Butler, a representative of a company that moves in on rural towns to mine the natural gas that's trapped several miles below the surface. The process of extracting the gas — fracking — is a dirty business that leaves the land toxic. John Krasinski is the environmental activist who shows up to toss a big monkey wrench into the plans. Damon and Krasinski co-wrote the script, and they do a nice job of giving the confrontations a gentle and surprising spin.--Entertainment Weekly   Based on a story by Dave Eggers.
