Review of How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2023) by Moviemitch96 — 14 Apr 2023

A group of misfit environmentaists band together for a common cause: to blow up a pipeline and send a message to all those involved. Their motives and backgrounds vary, but their cause to protect and avenge their environment is what they have in common.

Genuinely suspenseful and tensely performed by all involved, The film plays out surprisingly like a heist thriller, where the steaks feel high and the tension more than I suspected would be involved. It also was surprisingly not too politically heavy-handed, as this aspect seemed to take a backseat to the storytelling and thrills of it all As for the cast, everyone's so solid and on point here that it's impossible to single any one of these young actors out, although it was great seeing Sasha Lane and Forrest Goodluck in particular Once again, as they really haven't seemed to have done much since their breakout roles in 'American Honey' and 'The Revenant' respectively.

This also happens to be their second collaboration together after 'The Miseducation of Cameron Post.
