A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE – Fascinating look in real time at a nuclear attack on America. In this film we have no idea who launched the missile against us, all efforts to intercept it fail and the president has only 18 minutes to make his choice…retaliate or not. Either way, the city of Chicago is toast and the surrounding areas are radiation drenched and life as we know it is over. Three aspects of the crisis play out simultaneously while the clock ticks down the 18 minutes. We get an unnerving glimpse of how vulnerable we are should something like this actually occur. The performances are great and the storyline and filming sequence is unique. I didn’t come away terrified or disturbed as much of the audience did. It definitely is thought provoking however. And Trump deciding to test nuclear weapons a week after this film’s debut is also worrisome. I don’t know if there is any correlation or not, but this picture has everyone thinking “what if?” Cheers!
