North Country: two thumbs down :)
Usually Hollywood does justice to real life stories, like Erin Brokovich (screw the spelling) or Insider, but this one is slow dull and never gets any grip on the audience.
Screenplay, pretty bad, there are some good scenes towards the end of the movie, if only the adaptation was able to fit in some more good writing from the start.

Charlize Theron, is ok in the role. Creditibility to her inclination to doing roles which go beyond the looks, but still its upto the director and writer to create room for the actors to perform, which surely is missing here.

Frances McDormand is brilliant in the supporting role as fellow mine worker. (hope she gets a oscar nomination)

Rest its just a sluggish movie.
