I saw "Dark Waters", starring Mark Ruffalo-The Hulk in the Avengers movies, Thanks For Sharing; Anne Hathaway-The Dark Knight Rises, Get Smart_2008; Tim Robbins-Thanks For Sharing, Green Lantern and Victor Garber-DC's Legends of Tomorrow_tv, Alias_tv.
This is based on a true story about a chemical company-in this case, DuPont-that was dumping chemicals into landfills and rivers, which was causing all kinds of health problems for the local residents. And it was all because of greed-DuPont was making mucho profits. Mark plays a corporate defense lawyer that gets involved with a farmer-who knew Mark's grandmother-and the movie covers the time period from the 1970's until 2015. Tim plays Mark's boss at the law firm and he doesn't want Mark to get involved-at first-because DuPont is one of their clients. But Tim changes his mind after Mark starts showing him evidence of exactly what DuPont is knowingly doing. Anne is Mark's wife and Victor is the head of DuPont. It is an eye opening tale which helps explain lots of things going on in the world today, such as increasing cancer cases, deformed births, and lots of other medical problems. There were even sick and dying DuPont workers-well, they did work directly with the chemicals-that DuPont covered up.
It's rated "PG-13" for disturbing images and language and has a running time of 2 hours & 6 minutes.
It's not one that I would buy on DVD-once was enough-but it would be a good rental.
