Repetitive dullness snuffs out A House Of Dynamite
The Straits Times
|October 30, 2025
Despite a star-studded cast, including Rebecca Ferguson and Idris Elba, the political thriller flops as the suspense fizzles out
A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (M18) 115 minutes, available on Netflix ★★☆☆☆
The story: A missile, possibly armed with a nuclear payload, launches from Asia and is headed towards the United States. Impact is expected in minutes. In the White House situation room, Captain Walker (Rebecca Ferguson) tries to work out the origins of the launch and the reasons for it. At the same time, at a military command centre in Nebraska, General Brady (Tracy Letts) weighs his options. Walker and Brady report their findings to the US President (Idris Elba) and Secretary of Defence Baker (Jared Harris). As minutes tick by, officials are forced to consider the unthinkable: a retaliatory nuclear strike.
