Rick Groen Globe and Mail 01/11/2013
1.5/4
A lightweight flick about a heavy-duty subject, A Dark Truth plays like a TV movie back in the days when TV wasn't worth watching. Go to Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 01/10/2013
2/5
For all the attempted intrigue and mayhem, the film is dullsville, mired by a poky script, unremarkable action and, the hard-working Garcia aside, uninspired performances. Go to Full Review Linda Barnard Toronto Star 01/10/2013
1.5/4
A slog of a thriller that tries for relevance with an environmental message, A Dark Truth's biggest mystery is how so many "name" actors ended up in this torpid turkey. Go to Full Review Maitland McDonagh Film Journal International 01/10/2013
The problem is less that it fails to deliver slick, larger-than-life mayhem on a blockbuster scale than that message movies generally play best to the converted. Go to Full Review Betty Jo Tucker ReelTalk Movie Reviews 01/04/2013
This eco-thriller's message is an important one, but there are too many slow-moving scenes and too much screen time with characters just staring at each other. Go to Full Review S. Jhoanna Robledo Common Sense Media 01/04/2013
2/5
Generic thriller has plenty of dead bodies, few surprises. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more 03/01/2015 I watched the movie and I liked it. The best part of that movie is the content. Even when it is not based on a true story, it happens. Currently, Ecuador is fighting a canadian-american company that made a mess in the jungle. Brazilian aboriginals in the jungle are also disappointed with cutting trees and making a mess with the water they drink from the rivers. So I guess the movie made the point for me.
