# A House of Dynamite (2025)

Yet again it feels like I watched a different movie. So many people read this as fetishizing and glorifying the US war machine. I see this as a movie about how all that fails and leaves only idiot meatbags who cannot save themselves.

I’ll grant that it has a few too many “people panickedly checking in on their loved ones” scenes, but the cast is so crazy good that even that mostly works.

The ending is a bit of a cheat, but then so would any other possible ending. There are no answers to this.

Beautifully shot. I want to go to whatever remote miserable place was used for the Alaska scenes and have my soul excoriated.
