FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/a-house-of-dynamite-movie-review-a-case-study-in-filmmakers-intent-versus-narrative-impact/ "A House of Dynamite is the perfect definition of a film with brilliant intent but exhaustive execution. Kathryn Bigelow delivers an opening act of pure cinematic tension, technically and sensorially extraordinary, but its structure, divided into three acts that tell the same story, proves excessively redundant and draining, transforming the suspense thriller into an academic essay that gradually loses the viewer's attention. In the end, we're left with the hammered message that the most devastating threat isn't the nuclear explosion, but rather the human uncertainty in the face of the abyss." Rating: C-
