It’s boring and drags, and isn’t funny. Characters aren’t likeable or relatable. I was rooting for the bomb. Overrated Kubrick.
“Shoot it! Shoot it! Use your gun! That’s what the bullets are for!”
You were supposed to hate every single character. That was part of the point.
I saw that film when it came out and I was 9, saw Fail Safe also, probably did not understand all the complexities but I liked the films and appreciate them more now as an adult, Fail Safe is the really serious film that I watch again and find it even more scary and compelling than when it came out.
