Promised Land

Corporate sales partners Steve Butler (Matt Damon) and Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand) arrive in a small town to secure drilling rights for a natural-gas company. They believe that the economic decline has done their work for them and that the townspeople will happily accept whatever offer they make. However, they don't consider the objections of a respected schoolteacher (Hal Holbrook) and the leader (John Krasinski) of a grassroots campaign against the company's objective.

‘Promised Land’ doesn’t live up to its title (Our grade: C+)

January 3, 2013 - Austin360.com | Austin American-Statesman - Cary Darling Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Gus Van Sant has taken two very different filmmaking paths in his career. One has been a decidedly indie adventure, with admirable but little-seen films such as “Elephant,” “Restless,” “Paranoid Park” and “Gerry.”

Good Movie!

I would like to say that Matt Damon's Performance was great and John Krasinski and Frances McDormand did a good job too. Plus, the movie was good and I like the scenery in the movie because it was breathtaking to watch.
