A House of Dynamite

“Precision-tooled, ambitious in scale yet bracingly concise, this is (director Kathryn) Bigelow’s boldest and most assured film yet…with serious awards-season attention likely to follow. – Jonathan Romney, Screen Daily

At a remote military outpost, an unidentified incoming missile is detected, setting in motion an escalating series of actions and reactions across all levels of the United States government. With her trademark dynamic kineticism, Kathryn Bigelow (THE HURT LOCKER, ZERO DARK THIRTY) puts the viewer in the center of a crisis in which decisions must be made in limited time, based on incomplete and evolving information and untested protocols. Bigelow and screenwriter Noah Oppenheim (JACKIE) construct a frighteningly plausible scenario in which a multitude of dilemmas—practical and personal, bureaucratic and existential—overlap in real time and at a mounting rate. With a terrific ensemble cast, which includes Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Gabriel Basso, Jared Harris, Anthony Ramos, Greta Lee, Jason Clarke and Tracy Letts. – New York Film Festival
