Must see Netflix's highly rated thriller from an Academy Award-winning director
In the world of political thrillers, director Kathryn Bigelow's latest production, "A House of Dynamite," is generating significant buzz. Scheduled for a cinema release on October 10 and a streaming debut on Netflix on October 24, this Netflix original promises to deliver an edge-of-your-seat experience.
The movie, which has already garnered a 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes based on the first round of critics' reviews, seems to take an extremely realistic and grounded approach to the question of what would play out in the US military and government in the event of a missile launch targeting its homeland soil.
The cast of "A House of Dynamite" is nothing short of impressive, featuring the likes of Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Greta Lee, Gabriel Basso, Jared Harris, and Jason Clarke. Elba takes on the role of the President, although the specifics of his character remain undisclosed.
The film seemingly opens with a day like any other inside the Pentagon (and some other locations), but soon turns into an unbelievably tense unfolding disaster when a lone missile without a clear point of origin is detected. The ensuing crisis response forms the crux of the story.
Netflix seems to have high hopes for "A House of Dynamite," as it is releasing the movie in theaters before putting it out on streaming, with a shorter theatrical run than in the past. This strategy suggests that the streaming giant believes the movie has the potential to be a blockbuster hit.
The reception of "A House of Dynamite" among critics will be interesting to see, as it may translate to popular success. With Bigelow's proven track record in directing critically acclaimed films such as "The Hurt Locker" and "Zero Dark Thirty," expectations are high.
"A House of Dynamite" is not just a movie; it's a thrilling ride that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. With its stellar cast, gripping plot, and realistic portrayal of a national crisis, it's a production that should not be missed. So, mark your calendars for October 10 (for cinema release) and October 24 (for streaming on Netflix). It's time to step into "A House of Dynamite."
