6/10

I think this might have worked better for me had there been any of these conspiratorial characters with whom I could vaguely relate. As it is, they are collection of disparate folks with health problems, chips on their shoulders and axes to grind. Indeed, the rather episodic manner in which they are introduced to us reminded me of a rather dismal series of X-Factor auditions. Anyway, they quickly decide to take it upon themselves to destroy some remote pipeline infrastructure and with the help of the internet and some stump remover, they manage to construct some pretty lethal IEDs and set their plan in motion. Depending on your politics, I suspect you will either love the efforts of these courageous eco-warriors or you will see them as little more than self-appointed judge and jury for the rest of us. Whilst my jury was intrigued at the start, the increasingly underwhelming nature of the personas collected here gradually made me consider whether or not I would ever want any aspect of my future (or anyone else's) in the hands of these people. The last twenty minutes is quite well put together but I did struggle with the roles attributed to the FBI agent and the local police officer. Is it daring or is it reckless? You decide but, though effectively illustrative of just how simple it is to make a bomb, I think had this been presented as something rather more that a student protest video consisting of people with plenty short-term answers but no actual solutions, then I might have appreciated it more.
