CHOKE CANYON

Cinemavixion Review

Charles Bail's "Choke Canyon" offers a compelling narrative where a scientist's principled stand clashes with corporate greed. Stephen Collins delivers a nuanced performance as the "cowboy"-scientist David Lowell, whose leased land becomes the target for toxic waste disposal by the Pilgrim Corporation. The film masterfully builds tension as Lowell, armed with ingenuity and a fierce determination, resists the corporation's increasingly violent tactics. While the external data indicates a modest IMDb rating, the film's exploration of environmentalism and individual defiance against powerful entities remains relevant. "Choke Canyon" is a testament to the power of conviction, presented with a gritty, earnest energy that resonates throughout its runtime.
