On paper, this movie sounds really interesting but the execution just isn’t it

At one point the President of the United States has two minutes to decide the fate of the world as a nuclear missile is headed for Chicago. At this absolutely critical moment of his life, the President says “I listened to this podcast” and that’s where the title of the movie comes from.



Another entry in the vaulted Competency Porn canon, A House of Dynamite left me with cinematic blue balls. I actually can’t believe Kathryn Fucking Bigelow, in her first movie in 8 years, left us hanging like that. From any other filmmaker it would be mildly annoying. From KB it feels more like malpractice. 

Everything up to the ending I really dug. I thought it was gorgeous, technically brilliant in the way only Bigelow can do, and the performances are top notch. There’s an argument to be made that even with the terrible ending it’s still the best screen life movie ever made. Timur Bekmembotov could never. 

I am struggling to understand how this is the same movie that premiered at Venice to such a rapturous reception. There was talk it would win the Golden Lion and be a shoe in for a Best Picture nomination. This is why Netflix will never win Best Picture. They need to stop making movies and stick to original TV and licensing movies from other studios. Warner Bros would have never let that ending stand. 

Rachel Ferguson I love you.

The first time we live trough that scenario it was really catching and intense, the thrill is there. 
Sadly the second and third time doesn’t add much too it. We doesn’t learn enough also through that splitting of the story there are basically no characters just flat stereotypes. 
The end is also highly unsatisfying. But the first half is phenomenal, especially because of Rebecca Ferguson. It’s just a shame that after that nothing more happens. 
It’s still and enjoyable movie that’s gets you. 

Also in one of my all time favorite guilty pleasure movies „White House Down“ Jason Clark plays the main terroirs who takes over the White House. It was really weird seeing him working in the White House in this.
