The East (2013)

We're not gonna take it!

Eco-terrorists have promised to hit three corporate targets across the United States.  An undercover agent from a private security firm is sent to infiltrate their network and bring back intel.  She then becomes sympathetic to their cause.  Having been very intrigued by the trailer, this film turned out to be very different than I thought it would be. The first third of the movie was really great, the middle third was good, but the final third suffered a little.  On the whole, a really good film with some great young actors. 

The East gets 3.5 out of 5 Poblanos!
