I guess since they have re-released this to theaters, that means it will take awhile before it comes out on dvd. I have seen it twice, both times when it first came out back in September. Below is my review from seeing it at that time.
This was kind of an Erin Brockovich type storyline. You have a huge corporation who has a dangerous product that has done a bad thing and they are aware of it but are trying to settle out of court to save face and then a top secret document surfaces showing that they knew they were doing a bad thing but continued and now their law firm representing them has to decide what the ethical thing is to do with the evidence.
Quite confusing (for me, anyway) from beginning to end, but the dialogue in this movie from the first voiceover to the very last scene was so good that it was mesmerizing. And the action scenes, though few, completely take you by surprise and are rewarding in the end.
I highly recommend if you see this in the theater, make sure you bring warm enough clothing so that when they crank up the air conditioner, like they always do, you won't fall asleep. The majority of the voices you hear are soothing and there are not enough loud action scenes to jolt you awake if you do fall asleep. And this movie, you cannot miss even a minute of it or you will be lost. (Trust me on this.)
Very good and well-acted, but may take multiple viewings to understand the plot, though. No huge requirement to see this on the big screen, so it might be better to wait til it comes out on dvd.
