Great acting and portrayal of corporate madness and the total disregard for human lives in exchange for the almighty dollar.

The most negative review

Great, but it should have been a series instead of a movie
Dramatic movie based on true events taken from The Lawyer Who Became DuPont's Worst Nightmare and this New York Times article. The story of the movie is about a corporate defense attorney named Robert Billet, who filed an environmental lawsuit against a giant chemical company, with time discovering a long way from pollution.
A dramatic and humane movie that you will enjoy watching if you are a fan of investigative investigations, but it is heavy if you are a fan of light movies, but it is dramatic and controversial. After watching the movie, I felt that my entire soul was polluted and poisoned, and I was almost afraid that my clothes were all full of radiation. It was a shocking thing for me.
We have seen what humans do in certain things they make and don't think about their consequences even if they know their consequences. There are companies that do not care about any of the creatures on the planet, only seeking and crawling for money.
There have been films similar to Dark Waters such as A Civil Action 1998 by John Travolta and Erin Brockovich 2000 by Julia Roberts.
This movie, which contains destruction, pollution, and damage, harms a frightening number of living creatures. The movie portrayed major companies as a scary monster that devours humanity and living creatures, even seaweed.
I loved Mark Ruffalo in this movie. He played the role of a person who makes huge sacrifices in order to reveal the truth. He waited 15 years for the American judiciary to issue the final ruling in the case, and we saw how big and giant companies rule the country regardless of the law. Mark Ruffalo's acting was strong and I liked it, but it doesn't reach the perfection that deserves an Oscar.
Bill Camp impressed me the most in this movie. He could be an Oscar star. His scenes were powerful and breathtaking, and the pain was heart-wrenching.
The sequence of the story and events was somewhat flopped at the beginning of the movie, sometimes it becomes interesting and sometimes it becomes boring. I understand that the story is long and its events took place over a period of years. I think it is worth making a series for this instead of a movie, in order to see a more coherent story.
I don't think that Dark Waters deserves an Oscar, but it deserves to be nominated for an Oscar, and it is a good drama movie, and I wish it would be done in the form of a series
