How does promised land end

The protagonist in this case is Steve Matt Damon, who co-scripted, with John Krasinski, from a story by Dave Eggers , who works for a giant energy company seeking to buy drilling rights to the land owned by members of a rural community.

He and his partner Sue Frances McDormand, typically excellent go into towns, pretend to be down-home types, get people to sign over the rights, and then move on to the next gig. The movie should have been about her. Steve is a bit more of a cipher. Yet its attack on natural gas is so lazy that it actually backfires. A damn pity about that ending, though! It casts a shadow over the entire film, making it seem more shrill and manipulative than is the case for almost the whole thing.

I'm not sure that it's sufficient to outright ruin the whole picture, but it does leave a sour taste, and though the movie is a fine thing, it's palpably obvious how much better it could have been.

Alternate Ending Alternate Ending was formed when three friends realized they all shared a passion for movies. Our goal is to save you time and money by sharing our thoughts and recommendations on which movies to race to theaters for, which to watch at home and those to actively avoid.

What makes Alternate Ending different from other film sites and podcasts? Tim Brayton, our seasoned film critic, shares a more critical view of film, an appreciation for vintage cinema and perhaps limited-release movies that we might otherwise miss. Carrie, our casual movie-goer, reminds us all that cinema is in fact supposed to be fun and entertaining and that sometimes, just sometimes, happy endings are good. Too many film sites cater to the same kind of audience, with one overwhelming voice in the writing, but what we treasure at Alternate Ending is diversity: diversity of opinion, diversity in belief about what film should do and how it should do it.
