Promised Land (2012)
7/10
On the contrary

Warning: Spoilers
The radical Hollywood tradition doesn't completely belong to the past. They still make movies about the little man or woman and s/he may even confront Big Business from time to time.

Like here. Matt Damon is sent by his company to Kentucky to buy cheap land from the farmers. It functions sometimes, goes on rather well, if it wasn't for this old teacher. But problems arrive, real problems, when the environment champion turns up. A duel starts. It ends in a very surprising way, since things aren't what they seem to be. Or used to be in somewhat radical Hollywood.

OK story and more than OK acting from Damon's helper Frances McDormand. But it won't change much. We know who's winning.
