BrianSez's Review

Summary - Great 4.0

Kubric puts out a dark comedy masterpiece with Dr. Stangelove… Mistakes and political errors send the world toward nuclear holocaust. If it wasn’t for the ever-present satire, one just might take this movie as a horror/thriller. And the humor is deeply effective. How am I so sure? Even though it is 2009 now, It even made my 16 year old son and his friends laugh…

Acting - Perfect 5.0

Peter Sellers is absolutely at the top of his game in this film. A true example of just how dynamic he was. It is a must see for any of his fans. Backed up by a great performance by George C Scott and a hilarious show by Sterling Hayden — this movie knocks it out of the park in the casting department.

Film - Great 4.0

A lot of reviews I read say that this is Kubric’s best — and it is hard to argue. A serious subject interwoven with satire results in a movie that is as entertaining as you’ll ever likely experience on film.
