Promised Land 2012 - 3 stars out of 5 stars

Despite a good competent cast headed by Matt Damon this movie never really explores the key issues of"fracking"which is the core of this movie.That said,its only a slice of the heartland out of context to the theme and so I can only slightly recommend at 3 stars this 2012 release that runs 106 minutes.Never assume your audience knows the issues.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.

Corporate salesman Steve Butler (Damon) arrives in a rural town with his sales partner, Sue Thomason (McDormand). With the town having been hit hard by the economic decline of recent years, the two outsiders see the local citizens as likely to accept their company's offer, for drilling rights to their properties, as much-needed relief. What seems like an easy job for the duo becomes complicated by the objection of a respected schoolteacher (Holbrook) with support from a grassroots campaign led by another man (Krasinski) who counters Steve both personally and professionally.
