Rotten Tomatoes, and TheWrap’s chief film critic Tomris Laffly called it a “Soderbergh-ian” film that “ignites an urgent sense of activism through a stellar ensemble cast and sophisticated direction.”Still, Webb and fellow Fox News contributor Joey Jones aren’t supporting its release. “What Hollywood’s doing overtly now is what they’ve done subtly for a really long time,” Jones, himself a former Marine Corps bomb technician, said. He added, “Hollywood’s trying to bankrupt itself, I guess.
I’m not sure. They’ve become so righteous in their cause they don’t understand the business that they’re in. And that’s fine.
Make movies about blowing up pipelines. Nobody’s going to watch it.”Fox Business anchor Cheryl Casone, also sitting on Saturday’s panel, cut down a positive review from Rolling Stone, saying that the publication is “actually pushing, saying violence is the way to deal with the climate problem — if you believe that there is one.”“If you really wanna do something about climate change, then I guess… go to Washington,” she said. “But blowing up things and ending up in jail? Sorry, not the plan.” Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe then expressed that even though “How to Blow Up a Pipeline” is fiction, she worries that younger generations may begin taking cues from its plot line.
“What worries me about this is, I mean, first of all, are we sure this is a fictional tale? And secondly, Gen Z is the TikTok generation where they go watch a video and then that is where they get their beliefs and thoughts from. They’re not a critically thinking generation,” Boothe said. “So it does worry me for them to be spoon-fed this sort of propaganda.”Barer stars in “How to Blow Up a Pipeline” with a young Hollywood ensemble that includes
