"It has Jesse Eisenberg in it", and that's how we started watching the movie. Another movie which I had chosen to watch (Pizza- Tamil) had no subtitles available and then we moved on to this one. This was the day we called in sick (well, not really) and didn't go fow work. This was the second movie of the day (first was 'Slow West). This was he day the spaghetti pasta experiment bombed and we had to buy biriyani. Now, about the movie. Night Moves follows three young environmentalists (the extreme kind) and their plan to blow up a dam, to send across a message. Well, the movie had a mixed impact on me. I am strongly in favour of the point that there should be some checks on man's acts in destroying nature in the name of development. Like the movie rightly points out, blowing up a dam for it is not the solution for these acts. There were some moments which were exciting, the cinematography was good, but overall the movie fails to impress.
