Roberts’ performance is the engine that drives the film, balancing razor‑sharp wit with raw vulnerability. Soderbergh’s restrained direction lets the story unfold at a steady pace, letting the stakes of the water‑contamination case build naturally. The movie’s core theme—ordinary people confronting corporate greed—remains resonant, and its courtroom sequences feel surprisingly fresh.
