Where to watch How to Blow Up a Pipeline
Chilling
Both currently relevant and an echo of unflashy agit-thrillers of past decades, with its environmental context removed, Pipeline would resemble a heist thriller. But in a world where direct action is becoming more urgent, this feels more like a dispatch from the front lines - matter-of-fact, tense and chilling.
