The most inefficient telling of a story that I have ever experienced. Hugely unnecessary character development and unnecessary dramatisation.
I only made it to halfway before dyeing of boredom... jumped forward a chunk... saw the president say that the Russians would never succeed in obtaining the atomic bomb (unsure as to what he based this on). The movie was a strong testament to how much the US feared penetration by communism... and the fact that the US fear themselves losing their grip on being 'the leaders of the free world' [a title that they have never deserved or earned]... and the fact that no one has learned anything from history and being in perpetual war.
Truly a missed opportunity to tell this story in a way that would have any memorable meaning.
No wonder the planet is doomed to self annihilation at the hands of the 1% (The love of money is the root of all evil).
