Robert Duvall, James Franco, Selena Gomez, and Nat Wolff in In Dubious Battle (2016)
In the California apple country, nine hundred migratory workers rise up against the landowners after getting paid a faction of the wages they were promised. The group takes on a life of its own -- stronger than its individual members and more frightening. Led by the doomed Jim Nolan, the strike is founded on his tragic idealism -- on the "courage never to submit or yield."

      Mac: [narrating] People think they want wealth or power, but that ain't it. People just wanna know their lives matter. That *they* matter. Having some control over your own life, that's worth fighting for, no matter the cost.

    Starts extremely strong, then falls extremely flat.

    The movie had an excellent cast ranging from some well known younger actors to some well known veteran ones. The acting was great from all sides and things like the visuals were astounding. I was engaged in first half of the film but then started losing interest fast. The movie is about 30 minutes to long and the action in the film is very minuscle. On top of it all the ending had be one of most abrupt I ever seen. Its not worst watch in the world but it fails to live up to expectations.
