One of the very best legal thriller movies of recent years is on TV tonight

It has an 89% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

It revolves around a corporate defence attorney (Mark Ruffalo, Spotlight) who takes on an environmental lawsuit against a chemical company on behalf of a family friend and farmer (Bill Camp, The Queen's Gambit) who claims his cows are being poisoned.

As the attorney dives deep into the case, he exposes a lengthy history of pollution - one that not just impacts the health of livestock but of people too.

Thanks to its urgent subject matter, the horror-tinged atmosphere conjured by director Todd Haynes (Carol, Far From Heaven, May December) and two hugely empathetic performances by Camp and Ruffalo, Dark Waters earned rave reviews - boasting an 89% Rotten Tomatoes score.

JOE, however, is also recommending the movie because it deserves a much larger audience, having sadly only garnered less than $25 million at the box office upon release.

Dark Waters is airing on TV tonight on BBC Two at 11.35pm.
