Feb 12, 2014 An undercover operative became emotionally involved with a secretive activist group whose objective was to punish and expose sins of corporate leaders; nothing we had not read or heard about, but nonetheless good cinema.

I like it in 2013. I liked it even better in 2023.

Not a movie I would recommend but I did watch it to the end. Some parts were not believable but it's a movie after all!

If you want to waste 2 hours, I recommend this movie!!! I feel sorry for today's youth with all the teenage, female, racial dystonia. What a horrible story. They are a band of fugitives who live in an abandoned luxury house that has been…

Great picture, and valid also. Makes you want to turn anarchist!

It is unfortunate that as the film progresses it focuses more on the characters and less on the issues. I was disappointed by the predictable and safe ending.

This may be a duplicate review. If so, I apologize. I found this movie to be targeted at ignorant kids and young adults who actually believe the politically correct enviro-excrement lies that they're being force-fed in our horrible public…

Decent story, well written and directed. Cast is very believable with the material. I don't need to see the lead's undercover lifestyle's effect on her private life, but other than that, it holds your interest.

I don't quite believe in this idealized band of eco-warriers, versus a private (and evil, natch) security firm. What if the eco-warriers were more personally flawed and dangerous, as they might be in real life, and they were taking on the…

Great script, acting cast, and filming. Suspenseful and creative with handling the earthy idealistic vs. the ethically forsaken. Many angles.

Confused and confusing. Point?

Interesting enough movie. Might be a relevant watch if you want an idea of what today's young adult(s) could be thinking....

Brit Marling pays a straight laced young woman who goes undercover into a anarchist collective called The East in this terrific and Right On thriller. I think highly of the projects Brit Marling associates herself with. Clearly an actor,…

I was so looking forward to this movie but once again a potential amazing movie was just OK. There was no need to make environmental activism into some fringe crazy hippy thing. Not the best way to spend your time but not the worst.

“the East” : 5 upgraded from 4 upon a night's sleep. Morality is nuanced such that each person has freedom of choice. Righteousness is in the eye of the beholder. When profit, not morality, is “king”, then how are the standards…

Too bad this only happens in the movies. Hiding behind the corporate veil it seems like the bad guys always get away with their misdeeds without major consequences (do you hear me Anthony Mozillo, Tony Hayward ad infinitum)? Of course we…

This wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, it is far from being good. I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way. Very predictable but still entertaining.

Above average drama/thriller. Interesting premise. Well acted. Moves pretty slow, but kept my attention. Terrible things done to rich/morally corrupt folks by terrible morally corrupt terrorists. No real good guys here.

"The East" makes the moral high ground a really slippery slope and I don't want to get involved in the polemics of this one. It tried to make a point or two or ten, whether they were valid is not for me to decide here, or anywhere else for…

Good movie. Gets you thinking about the limits as to how far do we go to improve our lives. What is acceptable collateral damage to better the good of mankind. Is animal testing OK? Is water pollution an acceptable means to an end. Is our…

A somewhat predictable, until perhaps the very end when the credits are being rolled, but enjoyable espionage film.

Interesting and enjoyable movie.
