Dark Waters, a movie based on the true story of a lawyer who successfully sued an American icon, follows admirably in the footsteps of countless other ‘legal conspiracy’ films – those films where a lone, seemingly misunderstood man sees and knows something others don’t and develops a maniacal need to get to the bottom of it. This film hits most of those satisfying beats and has its own brooding atmosphere to boot, and while it isn’t perhaps a classic in this genre, it is a mostly enthralling tale of persistence in the face of corporate greed.
