[Netflix] A House of Dynamite

[Optrex]

I watch until sleep. Just repeating with nothing moving forward. 28 years later is much better. u can feel the tension until u a little cannot take it....


Read HWZ Forum Rules!

 

[Blacky]

I call this.... the "Blue Balls Movie"

Nice acting, exciting script, tense moments, abit of pullback to ease the tension, then followed by more tense moments..... but no ending

Switched to another movie after watching this like 45mins or so, which was just really 25mins or so...... Read the ending online instead

 

[highsulphur]

New movie on Netflix.

You are kidding about the best movie right?

 

[highsulphur]

Its a advertisement for online meeting app

 

[oddbasket]

This movie was just an excuse to pay a whole bunch of recent tv streaming stars a paycheck. Maybe money laundering involved also

serious waste of my time.

I can’t believe what I just watched. I feel like I owe myself an apology. One hour and forty-five minutes of my life gone, like that mysterious ICBM they never bothered to actually show landing. The movie spends its entire runtime showing 5 or 6 different perspectives of the U.S. military frantically doing something (I think?) to stop a missile heading toward America. We get generals shouting acronyms, dramatic zooms on radar screens, and more coffee-sipping tension than a Starbucks on a Monday morning. But the real kicker? Every single military character including the President by the way!, suddenly forgets what “protocol” means and starts making personal phone calls like it’s emotional hour at the Pentagon. Sirens are blaring, missiles are incoming, and these people are out here calling their moms, exes, and probably their dentists. And the fakest of fake crap ever, they only send out a couple interceptor missiles. That’s it?! An ICBM is screaming toward America at Mach whatever, and the entire U.S. military’s master plan is apparently, “Eh, let’s lob two rockets at it and hope for the best.” I’ve seen toddlers with better recovery plans after dropping an ice cream cone. Of course, both interceptor missiles miss, shocker! and then everyone just sort of… shrugs? Suddenly they’re in the Situation Room debating whether to retaliate against a country they don’t even know launched it. Meanwhile, the missile’s still casually on its way to Chicago, and everyone’s like, “Yeah, that’s probably fine. We’ll deal with that later.” At one point I genuinely thought someone would say, “Well, we tried. Anyway, who’s hungry?” The missile might as well have filed a missing person’s report because they literally forget it exists halfway through the movie. At this point I was rooting for the missile, at least it had a sense of direction. And then nothing. No ending. No explosion. No “we saved the day.” Not even a “missile hit, everyone’s toast.” It just ends. Like the director went, “You know what? They’ve suffered enough.” If I wanted to watch people argue about buttons without resolution, I’d just sit in on a family game of Monopoly. Oh, and Idris Elba shows up for about ten minutes, doing what I can only describe as the worst American accent ever attempted on film. It sounded like he was channeling a Texan robot who’d just woken up from dental surgery. The only thing dynamite about this film is how it blew up my expectations and my patience. My first ever public review because if I stayed silent after that, I’d be part of the problem.

What does the ending of A House of Dynamite mean?

Ultimately, Oppenheim said that the ending of the film is a “call to attention and an invitation to a conversation.” He continued, “No matter what final outcome you imagine, you've already seen a horror unfold.

"We don't want to give the audience a clean and neat resolution. "Any ending where the world is saved or the world is destroyed allows people to kind of walk out of the experience and say, 'Okay, well, that's that.... It ended that way, and it's over, and I can go back to my everyday life.'"

So who fired the nuke?

Did it hit? What happen to the bombers and its pilot?
Nothing else can be done? US defense system is only like that?

 

[Coolsmurf]

Dont waste time with this dud. Talk and talk, build and no ending.

 

[AUTUMN&WINTER]

No actions, a lot of conversations.

The point is... it doesnt matter who fired. It's meant to get the viewer thinking about this is what may happen during the starting of nuclear war... or how USA & rest the world has built up its nuclear defences but there is no turning back/no one wins... once anyone presses that button. -- a house of dynamite.

"$50 billion dollars on a coin toss.... Bullet hitting a bullet.... "
