I'm not a movie critic/critique and I'm not about to act like one now, infact I'm probably not the best person to ask about movies, even though I'm a fan, but i focus more on the scenery that the actors themselves, meaning i look far beyond who the starring acts are, at times I don't even know some of the most prominent actors in movies, i might even forget the title of the movie, but as soon as someone explains the opening or plot, i can tell them everything that happens in a movie. Spoiler Alert⚠️ Go and watch the movie first if it feels or sounds that interesting to you to watch before reading my comment.... This was bad and good, I'll start with the good, Good because the starring acts and co-starring really do a great job at playing out their parts, but that's all that's good with a movie, now if you ask me, I think some of the best movies are amazing because of the plot (Uvuthondaba as we call it in Zulu), that is only an anticipated feature of the movie, but never concludes. The movie is about a nuclear war, an attack on the U.S and revolves around the intelligence and forces trying to fight against this potential attack, so much so that it gets to Defcon 1, which is an inevitable stage of any war, that's when you pack your bags and call it a night, or pray for God knows what to happen, some forn of miracle, but even that miracle is a wonder here. The attack is centralized or focused in Chicago, even though the major attack is said to be towards Columbus, Ohio, and Indiana state potentially, but Chicago Illinois is the centre of this embroidered (decorated) attack, but again this never happens. Rather, a spin-off takes place or different scenes and takes, more like those of the movie "Vantage Point" (i had to search up the movie title by the way even though i remembered the events and scenes all too well), it's view point of intelligence, the CIA, Pentagon, Oval Office...etc all sharing the same information you've already heard 3-4 times in the movie from different perspectives!!! The actual nuclear explosion, never happens, nor do they stop it, nor do they give up, nor do they find a solution... To be continued....
