Amazing satire....

Rating: 7/10 (4 December 2017)

Hyperbolic fun, with strange characters to highlight the point. Has a unique story that is executed very well and tries to show what could possibly happen if nuclear weapons were used.
I enjoyed the characters of Buck and Mandrake, both are unlike any other characters I have seen before. Buck has a great delivery of lines with his booming voice whereas Mandrake has a likable charm. The president was very interesting too, his conversations on the phone are so absurd they become funny. However, sometimes I found it a little hard to follow the plot.
The editing and cinematography are very good too, with a large long shot that is contrasted with an extreme close up later. This highlights the tension between the characters and is key to the understanding of the film. Overall, a great satire with great cinematography.
