In it the reviewer said that the movie couldn't establish any of the characters, which I find laughable considering that the very plot automatically lets you understand that they are not what matters, it's their actions and the message they want to establish.
Come on, even the damn title tells you that. I don't know if that reviewer was expecting a compilation of deeper backstories to give another meaning to their actions, but his train of thought went a different way.
Personally, I think he was confused about the movie, and the same goes for anyone expecting a melodramatic exploration of what is essentially a pulsating, exciting and tense activist thriller.
How to Blow Up a Pipeline is a very good movie, but you have to understand up front that the message and the reasons they fight for is what this film is all about, not typecasting its characters into a mold of traumas.
