Night Moves (2013)
Thriller about 3 environmentalists who bomb a dam that they believe is ruining their immediate environment and the repercussions of their actions. Well plotted and paced and a bit of an open ending. Maybe a bit unrealistic in that the idealists (bar the Peter Sarsgaard character) seem terribly naive about the punishment they will receive, if caught, till after the incident. Surely they would have known the gravity of blowing up a dam!

WARNING: spoilers below
they weren't planning to hurt anyone. The difference between destroying property and killing someone is big and brings a lot more scrutiny to what they did.
I think that the guy dying definitely makes it "real" for the activists. I think that they genuinely believe they will get away with it, and the combined anxiety about getting caught and the guilt of having killed a person is what brings them back to reality.
