Rubikon

MovieGuys
Where do we draw the line between altruism and self interest? This is the question Rubikon rather astutely asks. It sets up this moral conundrum in the context of a capitalist corporate society. One where money defines one's place, in the pecking order. Its a reflection increasingly of our own world in the West. One driven by self interest, where altruism typically takes a back seat to "me first." Its interesting then, to see the interplay between characters placed in a microcosm of modern society. How will they react when called upon to sacrifice? How much will they be willing to give up? There's no judgement or condemnation here, nor I feel should there be. This is simply a reflection of who we have become. Well acted, intelligently written, modest in its approach and surprisingly engrossing.
