On the one hand it’s good it doesn’t try and paint the use of the bomb as morally good or without shades of gray. It could have been much worse and could have just kind of fellated the guy and how great the US was and ignored all the moral dilemmas or shoved them aside and hooting chuds are likely angered by the presence of said reflection and the fact the most deranged anti-communists are portrayed as shifty, ratty little characters which in truth they probably were in real life as well. (Truman certainly was a monster)
On the other, I think Mr. Nolan can make good movies but not truly great movies (only a handful can to be fair and they’re basically all dead at this point). He has a certain talent to much of his film-making that the people shoveling out Marvel garbage and say Zach Snyder don’t possess.
I think it’s about as good of a movie on the subject as one could expect from the US. The framing device through which the story is told (two investigatory panels) is also interesting and at least a somewhat artful way of keeping the audience interest and the tension high.
7.5/10 for me which is pretty high. Worth a watch.
