How to Blow Up a Pipeline 2023

This is an itty bitty movie that released back in April. It’s very tightly focused on the folks pictured here (environmental activists) as they execute a plan to destroy parts of a corporate oil pipeline in Texas (so yes, there’s plenty of social commentary). At critical moments, we’re tossed into flashbacks that show us how each member of the group was pushed to the point of radicalization that can justify this sort of action; the concept is great, but the execution of cutting away from tense moments robs them of a fair amount of their tension. Interesting, but not a must-see.
