Damn it. Beat me to it.
This movie is great, as it shows how the corrupt institutions of day to day life actually deal with the individual crusading hero. The system always wins. The stories of one person making a difference are fantasies we sell to children.
Also, corruption doesn't often look evil. It just is. The wheels of the machine just slowly crush everyone, and make us do their bidding. Most people are just trying to get through their day without hassle. The corrupt cops aren't really bad people, nor is the water board. But the truly idealistic must be destroyed.
