Hahaha another film with Sean Bean. Just a small part in this film, but a nice effective part nonetheless. The main star in this film is Charlize Theron who plays a single mother of two, Josey Aimes, who does not have the best of luck in life generally. An opportunity presents itself when a mining company reluctantly opens its doors to women workers. The pay is far superior to all the normal jobs available to women in the local area, so Josey takes it. However, the men at the mine are bent on giving the few women who join up a damned hard time. And believe me, there are some very ugly and nasty fuck heads in there. It's a bit like a prison film really. The film is sort of based on a real life landmark legal battle between a group of women miners and a mining company in Minnesota I think.
It's an interesting film with plenty going on. Woody Harrelson plays the Lawyer who eventually takes on Josey's case. An all-round impressive cast. Excellent Bob Dylan songs throughout the film. Well worth a watch. 7.5/10
