How to Blow Up a Pipeline - Reviews

What makes How to Blow Up a Pipeline great, is that it so deftly wins us to its cause anyway. It’s absolutely electric filmmaking.

This eco-terrorism nail biter featuring an excellent ensemble cast is an electrifying work of activist filmmaking.

An impeccably crafted nail-biter.

Not only does the film succeed as a tense heist movie, it’s a sharp reminder of what we stand to lose when we allow ourselves to be taken in by capitalist propaganda or become numb to impending climate disaster.

...it’s hard to think of another film as emphatically, passionately and furiously of the moment as this one.

It’s an exciting, humanist eco-thriller...

There's no single figure with whom to empathize, but rather a concentration on the issues, the justifiable rage about inevitable environmental collapse, and the nerve-racking tension of waiting to see what – or who – will explode.

The result fuses technically proficient, impressively assured filmmaking to the urgently contemporary subject matter in an increasingly rare way in American commercial cinema.

Et stærkere ungdomscast skal man lede længe efter.
