A good movie, nothing special, but nevertheless a good movie. The plot was good, the pace of the movie was good, and the acting was also really good. I also really enjoyed learning how they drilled in the war more. Only thing I wish is that the character of Joanne  was better developed. In the beginning she was the one that was standing up and resisting the oil men but then all of the sudden she falls in love with Stewart and stands with the oil drillers. I wish there had a been a better character arch that would show how she changed. It character development just felt very rushed. But I would say overall I enjoyed this film.
