I think the film is set just post the trump administration as they show a picture of a Zelenskyy meeting. So it’s likely America will have a president who is the opposite of Trump.
I think Idris reminded me a lot of Obama in that he was famously indecisive and liked to take a lot of time making decisions, especially big decisions.
i agree that considering the current admin the movie is fantastical, that’s what made it so scary. The US military has been gutted in terms of generals with experience and there is a malicious alcoholic running the pentagon.
A lot of people had a problem with the structure of the movie and the dissipating tension. I thought the movie didn’t loose any tension or momentum but I’m in the minority. That’s probably because I thought the performances were excellent, great forbidding propulsive score, and the constant movement of the characters and their location.

Well that can **** the **** off with that ending.

I actually liked the 3 sides told but why not launch more interceptor missiles after the first batch failed, mahoosive plot hole I couldn't look past

House of Dynamite: I understand what the film is trying to say I just don't think it says it very well or that it required 2+ hours to say it. I would have preferred a conventional Tom Clancy esque thriller based around the premise that wasn't trying to say anything. I'd rather watch The Hunt for Red October for the 10th time than a po-faced version of Dr Strangelove. Bigelow doesn't really care whether any of this makes sense of course, she is more interested in the aesthetics of people in suits with PHDs taking emergency zoom calls while ordering lattes and dealing with domestic issues. She's such a great action director but she's wasted on this reject tv pilot crap. There's a reason Kubrick made nuclear war into a comedy.

it did remind me of The Sum of All Fears

Binge watched The Asset over the past two nights and I hugely recommend it. A stylish, pacey Danish thriller about a young trainee cop who goes undercover to infiltrate a drugs gang by befriending the mobster's moll.First class acting, even from a young child, it really is compelling watching. No one does thrillers quite like the Scandanavians.

More likely Trump would have went that is a far left communist state that didn't vote for me so let the bomb drop on it.

Fearless is a very good British lawyer/cop/spy drama series about a lawyer defending a convicted criminal and, in doing so, suspecting a high-level cover-up

lol, there's about 6 different series called "The Bridge" :o. Is it the Danish one from 2011?
