Inside A House of Dynamite: A Razor-Sharp Political Disaster Thriller That Never Lets Go

A House of Dynamite falls under the disaster political thriller genre. The movie is directed by Kathryn Bigelow. The star cast of the film includes Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Gabriel Basso, Jared Harris. This movie is streaming on Netflix on October 24.

In the movie, an ICDM missile is fired from an unknown place over America. Kathryn Bigelow’s direction is plain, without unnecessary detail. Kirk Baxter’s editing gives a punctuated rhythm that positions onto the phone calls and protocol rollouts. It is about when a single unattributed missile is launched at the United States, a race begins to determine who is responsible and how to respond. It puts the audience in the shoes of the decision makers, players at the White House, the Secretary of Defence, and anyone who could prevent an all-out nuclear war, only if they make the right decisions. The movie is so intense that the viewer is able to relate to the characters.

A House of Dynamite is a gripping and fascinating exercise in imagining the reality of a nuclear attack. Viewers like the grounded approach, the razor-sharp editing, and the intensity that doesn’t drop until the end. This is tense and adrenaline filled 115 mins.

A viewer expressed on Twitter (X), “A House of Dynamite is brilliantly captivating, yet it is deeply thought provoking, and both a chilling and terrifying cautionary tale about living with the scary amount of nuclear weapons we have become too comfortable with that will haunt you for years to come.” Another person wrote, “’A House of Dynamite’ an easy 8/10. The 1st half is excellent and Bigelow’s direction is razor sharp but the 2nd half meanders a bit due to the Rashomon treatment of the screenplay. I also understand why so many ppl did not like the ending.”
