Review of Puncture

Puncture (2011)
7/10
Where's the power of the media?
2 March 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The story of this movie is the strength. A big money corporate cover up so that massive amounts of money can be saved at the expense of front line medical workers safety. I don't know if I just missed it in the news or didn't care, but with the subject matter it seemed to me that a media presence would have brought about a lot more attention to this issue and pushed for change a lot quicker. The characters were mostly well developed although Chris Evans is a tough sell as a sick drug addict personal injury lawyer. Blame Captain America but he's just too good to be the ugly person I think the director was trying to convey as the difficulty of this lawsuit. His acting was fine, and the rest of the cast was good but just missed on being great. There were a few scenes that seemed out of place and I could only really explain as that attempt to complicate his character as "not all good". Overall, good but not great!
