Well this would never work in reality

There are so many things wrong with the way they did this that anyone trying to replicate what they did, most certainly would not work. Which is good, as violent acts will only make people less sympathetic.

1. The drum they are lifting in to place would weigh close to 1,000 pounds.

2. When you shut a valve the pressure 1,000 psi does not magically disappear. You needs to be released at another valve.

3. 2 pipelines were destroyed you you would even if 1 one line was shut in the other was not.

4. Pipeline would have burned until the fuel was gone.

5. You can't drive with a broken leg right leg in a left hand vehicle. You would not be able to move your foot.

6. In reality there would have been severe environmental mental damage costing millions to clean up.

There is so much more. But I will not bore you further.

The pipeline would be operational again in 2 week.

Anything is possible when you are an Ultracrepidarian on the subject of pipelines. While I understand it's only a movie, it's not based in reality, it annoys my understanding of physics and chemistry.

I guess this what happens when stupid kids think they will change things because they blocked a roadway, damaged art or blow up a pipeline. If you really want change get money out of politics, vote for people that will change things or apply yourself in ideas around CO2 removal, and alternate energy. Oil and Coal are going the way of the steam engine and Stage Coach. Destruction will not make happen faster.

If you destroy property, disrupt people's lives it only takes sympathy away from your cause and makes them less likely to embrace change.

As far as the cast goes the actors do a great job of showing the naive mentality of destructive activism and their mind set. It's not a movie I would care to watch a second time.
