A lot of fun.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Many of the factory farm practices used in the United States have been banned in the rest of the world but they are still in use here because the giant corporations pay off the politicians and use "lobbyists" to avoid taking responsibility for the damage they create.When it comes to factory farming, you are either supporting the system by purchasing their products or you are against the system by boycotting their products.
