This movie is definitely a character movie, dealing with the ultimate death of the world as we know it. It's lack of action scenes really underscores the reality of the storyline. A super heavy subject that is well hidden in these modern times. It's not Bruce Willis Hollywood action type of fiction, but a genuine look into the lives of ordinary people who are powerless to influence their future and are at the mercy of political men in suits that control nuclear Armageddon. The characters develop slowly over the entire course of the movie, and provide an emotional finale that makes you appreciate all of them for their differences when facing the inevitable end. The subject theme is well worth the introspection. Nobody "wins" a nuclear war. Die now, or die later.
