When it comes to channeling our malice toward certain figures--developers, lobbyists, corrupt politicians--no one does it better, and no one conjures up more poetic and imaginative justice for them. This one concerns a narcissistic lobbyist who is unlucky enough to be caught littering by a trust-fund hippy environmentalist, who then targets him for maximum humiliation. Hilarity and suspense ensue. Apart from said trust-fund hippy, the character of the ex-Florida governor-turned-survivalist Clinton Tyree--a aggrieved idealist on a mission--is worth a movie all on his own.(less)
