Promised Land is more effective as an anti-fracking screed than as a drama.

An engaging film about the dangers of fracking and the crass manipulation employed by its proponents.

[It's mostly] a well-wrought drama that feels genuine as it goes about spinning a tale worthy of our challenging times.

Damon and Krasinski's script isn't completely solid, but it follows a believably wayward path to a lovely, muted ending.

The film never makes a convincing argument against fracking, probably because it's too busy being cloying.

Van Sant's direction isn't nearly as flashy as it was in 2009's "Milk," but he provides the right amount of visual propulsion to keep the story moving along.

This is a solid if at times too conventional tale of a classic moral conflict.
