Confusing, narrated, strange, and difficult to follow. Too many questions regarding the actions of the main character. I don't know about you, but I'd have done so many other, different, and direct things than this main character in order to extract myself from my current situation. The wall: did the river run through it? Was it like a dome? Was it bulletproof? Would it be possible to dig beneath it? Were animals affected by it? Maybe I should just write a story about it... no, that would be boring. In order to change or alter my situation, I would have to do something different each day. The lead and only character was satisfied with her predicament. I do wonder, however, about the end result.
Screenplay 10; Direction 10; Actors - all of them a 10; Story Development 10; Ability of Film to Retain Your Attention 10; Academy Awards - should be several of them. If there were anything that could be considered negative with this theatrical presentation it would be its length, however, you will not be disappointed with its length due to its ability to tell the story completely, accurately, and hopefully truthfully -- just be sure to sit in a comfortable chair. If you do not see the actual point of this story (see the title of this rating) then you would be one of those on the "commission" investigating the political viewpoint of those employed in the Manhattan Project.
The story is absurd, the acting stiff, the props are silly, and the action predictable and ridiculous. So sorry that Walken and Wood are the headliners in this stinker of a movie. Not surprised that Fletcher and Robertson would take roles in this poorly executed drama. If you have to see Natalie Wood, which is the reason I watched this old and silly film, then you may wish to invest your time, which unfortunately will be a waste. Walken spoke better in this 1983 drama than he has subsequently in this film. I'm guessing Walken started talking like all the comics and mimics who "did him," so, he developed his signature voice doing what others did of him.
