Night Moves Blu-ray Movie | Classic Thriller Film | Perfect for Home Theater & Movie Nights

Contrary to what many people say, this is not merely a film about environmentalists conspiring to blow up a dam. Actually, it has little to do with environmentalism. Environmentalism is the film's setup, but it is not the film's theme. If it were, blowing up the dam would have ultimately amounted to something to *reflect* on environmentalism, and it didn't. (It was even stated in the film that blowing up the dam was essentially useless beyond serving as a statement because there were several dams along the river.) The focus is on the *aftermath* of the characters' actions and how they reflect on *them* as people. Dena, the naive, self-confident kid is awakened to the gravity of what she's done and dissolves into a nervous wreck; Harmon, the apathetic veteran who's seen it all, remains practically unaffected; Josh, the dogmatic environmentalist begins to second-guess himself (especially in light of the missing camper), treading the line between self-justification and regret. The story follows how three very different people respond to an ethically questionable deed, and how their reactions clash and create a destructive chain reaction. Dena's crippling guilt leads her to come clean, which leads Josh to lose everything he held dear (a family, a home) and descend into rage, then later paranoia; meanwhile, Harmon stays distant and moves on.This film is about the complexity of right and wrong (is it solely based on actions, or do intentions count?). It is about when, if ever, the end justifies the means. Haunting and beautiful, I give it 5 stars!
