A somewhat unhinged US General goes rogue, and orders a bombing raid on The Soviet Union. His actions send The War Room into a panic, various personalities clash, as they try to avoid a nuclear holocaust.
I have really enjoyed reading the reviews, especially the numerous 10 star reviews, it's clear that this film is loved my many, personally I enjoyed it, I'd say it's a very good film, I'm not sure I see it as a great.
When it comes to Kubrick I still think 2001 is my favourite, followed by Clockwork Orange.
The acting is phenomenal, Peter Sellers gives one of his best (and let's be honest there are many) ever performances, he is phenomenal, each character he plays is so different.
I enjoyed the cleverness of it, it's very sharp and witty, I thought some of the laughs were a little flat, and at times it was just a little too clever for its own good.
I loved the visuals, it looks so sharp and polished, the black and white fits the story incredibly well.
How gloriously unexpected that moment where Dame Vera Lynn comes blasting out with we'll meet again.
Sellers is a joy to watch.
7/10.
