    Great Plot & Cast... The Only Problem In My Opinion Is That It Seemed Way To Long.... I Think 90 Min. Would Of Been Great For This Movie.. It Could Of Scored A 9 But It's A 7

    Wonderful performances steal the show in this film based on the real life of Karen Silkwood, a worker in a plutonium factory in Oklahoma, whose health and safety concerns prompt her public exposure of the company's practices which, in turn, lead to dire personal consequences.

    That could have been a good movie, but predictable. Mike Nichols' Silkwood is not predictable.... We realize this is a lot more movie than perhaps we were expecting.

    Silkwood is a very moving work about the raising of the consciousness of one woman of independence, guts and sensitivity.
