Go see: ‘The Cove’

August 7th, 2009

It’s only August, and already eco-documentary/thriller The Cove is receiving Oscar buzz for its moving portrayal of the ongoing dolphin slaughter in Taiji, Japan — not to mention its heroic filmmaking, for which the crew literally risked life and limb. The movie, which opened in New York City and Los Angeles last weekend (which is when I saw it; living in Smogville does have its advantages), hits theaters nationwide today.

The action-packed narrative of the film, billed as a real-life Ocean’s Eleven, will thrill you, even if you purport to be neither animal lover nor environmentalist (although you may change your mind about both of those by the time the end credits roll).
