GASP! Too much reality for the simple-minded viewing public!
< /sarcasm>
Seriously, this is much better than the screenwriting crime they perpetrated upon Tom Clancy's The Sum of All Fears, wherein the pali terrorists were transformed into Nazis.
indeed, whilst the film Dirty War will not win any Oscars, it is a far more realistic and therefore frightening rendition of the nuclear bomb scenario in a crowded urban area than even the movie Sum of all Fears which got the Hollywood treatment and I found frustrating in parts, now maybe it was true to the book and my frustration should be directed at Clancy, however
I watched that movie Dirty War and it gave me heebeegeebees, esp as one who has visited London and know what traffic congestion is like on a good day (try being on top of an open double decker bus inhaling bus fumes whilst it takes 30 minutes to get down one street, the one Harrod's is on, name escapes me at present)
SPOILER
esp when they summarized the devastation in London after the fact, things you never think of like London becomes a virtual ghost town....
a good film for emergency preparedness teams to watch, I think, to fuel discussion....
