I am reviewing the film We Are The East which is an excellent ecothriller. This film stars Brit Marling & Ellen Page. Marling plays someone who is concerned about an ecoterrorist group called The East who target people in business who do things like sell unsafe drugs or pollute the environment and agrees to infiltrate the organisation. She is taken on by an agency that works on behalf of paying customers in big business and they operate similiar to a spy organisation. As she infiltrates the terrorist group she starts to see their point and while disagreeing with actually killing people wants to help them. Ellen plays a fellow terrorist whose father is a corrupt businessman who pollutes the water tables in many areas with illegal waste but has somehow got away with it. At one point Ellen dies in the film and there is a poignant scene where another ecoterrorist says he would gladly give up they have achieved to get her back alive. It's an unusual topic and a great story & I really enjoyed it. Also the agency Marling works for is only interested in pleasing clients and getting new ones and couldn't care less about upholding the law. As time gores on the ecoterrorists who believe in do unto them as they would do unto others starts out dumping oil in the house of someone responsible for a big oil slick but do get more extreme ie they try to force Page's parents to bathe in a polluted creek which should result in a painful death due to the toxins dumped in it. By the end of the movie the terrorist group is coming apart at the seams and Brit must choose where her loyalties lie. Neither side is perfect.
