7/10
Weightily toned, earnest yet entertaining dramatic thriller
23 May 2023
In earnest dramatic thriller "How To Blow Up A Pipeline" a gang of angry, frustrated, twenty-something eco-warriors (Lukas Gage, Forrest Goodluck, Kristine Froseth, Jake Weary, Sasha Lane, Jayme Lawson, Marcus Scribner & Ariela Barer) plan to blow up a Texan oil pipeline (duh) to disrupt fossil fuel sales and slow humanity's industrial grind into annihilation via global warming. It's serious fare, as reflected in most of the performances & Daniel Goldhaber's second outing as a director - but in his debut as a co-writer (with Jordan Sjol & Barer) he cuts in background flashbacks with the unfolding 'attack' to help keep it fresh. It has a weighty tone, but is still entertaining.
