The Cove is a hard hitting documentary that focuses on dolphin hunting in the seas of Japan. Probably the best espionage thriller of the last 20 years. It just so happens to be a documentary. The Cove succeeds in delivering it's important message by knowing when to crank up the intensity. One of the documentarians compares his group to Ocean's 11. As his group assemble reconnaissance information in order to place cameras so they can film the slaughter of dolphins. There are a lot of messages that come with this film and it isn't all 'tree hugging hippy crap', there are the cultural and health implications as well. It builds to a shocking and disturbing ending, but one that will hopefully make a difference.
