A House Of Dynamite (Netflix)
When a single, unattributed missile is launched at the
United States, a race begins to determine who is
responsible and how to respond. Radars at Fort Greely,
Alaska, detect a nuclear missile. The president and his
entourage must use the limited time they have to try to
shoot down the missile before it reaches Chicago. What
sets this movie apart is its unique narrative structure.
The film replays the same 19 minutes three times, each
from a different perspective: Military, political, and
civilian. This approach reveals new information with
each iteration, gradually building a full picture
getting to the decision making in a national crisis.
It's a clever device that keeps you hooked. The cast is
stacked. Rebecca Ferguson, Idris
Elba, Jared Harris, and Greta
Lee all deliver strong performances
