Contains spoilers for “A House of Dynamite”<\/strong><\/p>\n

In “A House of\u00a0Dynamite,” a new thriller from “The Hurt Locker”<\/a> director Kathryn Bigelow, a nuclear missile of unknown origin is hurtling towards Chicago. The film’s three acts take place simultaneously and follow different sets of government officials responding to the mounting crisis, with each act cutting off right as the President (Idris Elba) prepares to announce whether or not to retaliate. The looping structure, with the third act from the President’s perspective, builds suspense as to what he’s going to decide\u00a0\u2014 which makes the its anti-climactic, almost non-existent ending come as a shock.<\/p>\n

The film never confirms the President’s ultimate decision, nor does it reveal who sent the missile or what becomes of Chicago. Rather, all that is shown in the final scene following the dramatic cut to black and before the President’s announcement are people entering a bunker in Pennsylvania. The implication that things are going to get apocalyptically bad is clear, but the lack of answers to the film’s biggest questions is sure to frustrate audiences, who are unlikely to rank it among the best end of the world movies<\/a>.<\/p>\n
