CHOKE CANYON

Cinemavixion Review

Charles Bail's "Choke Canyon" presents a compelling narrative of David Lowell, a scientist portrayed with steadfast resolve by Stephen Collins, pitted against the avarice of the Pilgrim Corporation. Set against the backdrop of leased land intended for atomic waste disposal, the film expertly balances elements of the action and science-fiction genres, as indicated by its classification. Lowell's transformation from a mere "cowboy"-scientist into a formidable opponent is a testament to the film's exploration of integrity versus corporate greed. The supporting performances from Janet Julian and Bo Svenson add depth to this tense confrontation. While external data suggests a modest critical reception, the film's thematic resonance and Collins's commanding presence make it a noteworthy entry for viewers interested in eco-thrillers with a sci-fi edge.
