The East (2013)
This move is a collaboration between director Zal Batmanglij and Writer/producer and Star Brit Marling. Both are on a trajectory to be huge stars. The East is an Eco terrorism group lead by Eric from True Blood. Ellen Page is also a member of the gang. Sarah a deep cover operative from a very tony private security firm infiltrates the group. Of course she discovers she is in way to deep.
The movie is very preachy but in a good hearted way. There last ten minutes is full of great twists and turns. It got a well deserved 75% from Rotten Tomatoes, the box office was disappointing at less than $3 million, but hopefully it does well in DVD. Well worth the rental or purchase.
Three point six stars

I have never heard of this movie, but I will probably try and check it out; your review intrigues me.

Actually this is the first time I heard about this. Poor marketing I guess.
