When a single, unattributed missile is launched at the US, a race begins to determine who is responsible and how to respond. Bigelow’s thriller presents a gripping, visceral and unsettlingly credible scenario, seen from three perspectives across the same, short time-span. With an all-star ensemble cast, Bigelow focuses in on the individuals responsible for critical global security systems, whose humanity conflicts with the pressures of their roles. Once again, it highlights Bigelow’s skill as one of contemporary cinema’s most kinetic, compelling and precise filmmakers.
