Promised Land is the new contemporary drama directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, Milk). Matt Damon plays Steve Butler, an ace corporate salesman who is sent along with his partner, Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand), to close a key rural town in his company's expansion plans. With the town having been hit hard by the economic decline of recent years, the two outsiders see the local citizens as likely to accept their company's offer, for drilling rights to their properties, as much-needed relief. What seems like an easy job for the duo becomes complicated by the objection of a respected schoolteacher (Hal Holbrook) with support from a grassroots campaign led by another man (John Krasinski), as well as the interest of a local woman (Rosemarie DeWitt). Promised Land explores America at the crossroads where big business and the strength of small-town community converge.If You Like this movie you can streaming Promised Land movie without downloading HERE

Review For Promised Land
This is a solid if at times too conventional tale of a classic moral conflict.Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
[It's mostly] a well-wrought drama that feels genuine as it goes about spinning a tale worthy of our challenging times.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
Promised Land is more effective as an anti-fracking screed than as a drama.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
Damon and McDormand are terrific as co-workers seeking the same goal, though they see their work from different points of view.
Connie Ogle-Miami Herald
This isn't a movie about easy fixes, be they personal or political; it's a film about long-term problems.
Tom Long-Detroit News
Far too awkward and contrived a drama to change many hearts and minds.
Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail
An engaging film about the dangers of fracking and the crass manipulation employed by its proponents.
Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight
It's more middle of the road than transcendent, but Promised Land offers a quietly engaging and even-handed look at a controversial issue.
Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor
The film never makes a convincing argument against fracking, probably because it's too busy being cloying.
Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger
Gus Van Sant's Promised Land is an engaging performance-driven drama that works more often than not.
Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered
... Van Sant's eye and sense of poetry no doubt elevate what's essentially an updated Frank Capra story ...
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
'You can't make natural gas from shale without fracking' doesn't quite have the same ring to it as 'You can't start a fire without a spark'.
Graham Young-Birmingham Mail
The pro-environment message here is more effective because of the film's subtlety, a casting twist featuring the likeable Matt Damon, and a script that doesn't insult its audience.
Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
There are some good scenes early on, and the conflict at the centre is real. But it's sentimental, Capraesque fare ...
Philip French-Observer [UK]
underwhelming at best
Bill Gibron-Film Racket
Thee film-makers' sincerity so indisputable, that Promised Land never entirely spins off the rails. It's hard to swallow, but easy to digest.
Donald Clarke-Irish Times
Hydraulic fracturing might not be the most compelling subject for a movie, but it provides a topical backdrop for this engaging drama about ethics.
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
A gentle rather than dramatic film that, once the central argument is laid out, lacks real flair.
Derek Malcolm-This is London
A flawed but watchable eco-drama - heavily indebted to a wittier anti-corporate movie, Local Hero, made 30 years ago.
Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]
Van Sant is no Frank Capra, so why is he trying so hard to be?
Glenn Heath Jr.-Little White Lies
Not confident or bolshy enough about the subject, too aware of eco versus economic pros and cons ...
Antonia Quirke-Financial Times
The latest film from Gus Van Sant is a thought-provoking and emotionally engaging smalltown drama with a strong script and a terrific central performance from co-writer Matt Damon.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
A compelling glimpse into a world of corporate chicanery where unscrupulous business giants casually toss decent chaps like Butler into the fray to take the, er, frack.
Tim Evans-Sky Movies
The film means well, it just doesn't stir the soul.
Damon Smith-Birmingham Post
Northern Exposure with Jason Bourne. Which is a backhanded way of saying this is far from the challenging movie it promised to be.
Ian Nathan-Empire Magazine
Feels more Hollywoodland than 'Promised Land'.
Stella Papamichael-Digital Spy
