Imagine, if you can, you’ve landed yourself an elite, no-nonsense job as an operative for a private intelligence firm, only to see your priorities shift upon infiltrating the anarchist group you were tasked with taking down. Sounds like a recipe for a very awkward conversation with your boss — or the plot to upcoming thriller The East.

Brit Marling stars as the aforementioned operative, tasked with helping her multi-billion dollar corporation clients fight the anted-up, Occupy-Eco-Terror-esque group of anarchists called The East. It is The East’s plot to get justice for the environment at any cost — a cost mostly paid by the corporations for which Marling’s character Sarah works. Sarah infiltrates The East’s ranks in order to bring them down from the inside — but things get complicated when she starts to fall for the group’s charismatic leader, Benji (Alexander Skarsgård). Sarah must decide where her alliegance lies: with the man she’s developing feelings for, or the people that pay her salary. Also starring Ellen Page and Patricia Clarkson, this thriller is not to be missed.
