An implausible story, 31 August 2001
Author:
robeykr from Warminster, PA
I at first thought this little fantasy excursion would be a little
entertaining. I was wrong. A good cast (Roy Scheider as the president) didn't help it any. The
story had every conceivable possible worst-case scenario that could
take place in a terrorist nuclear disaster. And none of it could
POSSIBLY happen! True -- the kidnapping of the President could only be accomplished with
the inside help of a traitor in the Secret Service (ala Air Force One),
but everything they depicted regarding the FOOTBALL and the
helplessness of our country if were to fall into enemy hands is
ludicrous to the Nth degree. Seriously, not even the President can
fully over-ride our missile control. The case is only used to relay
orders. In this situation, our system would have completely deleted the
codes and the whole thing would go nowhere. The destruction of Beijing
couldn't happen -- there would not have been a missile launch because
the silo-crews would have been instructed not to (communications
include a hardwired system). There are just too many safe-guards to
prevent such a thing from happening. True, film's like FAIL-SAFE and STRANGELOVE gave some credibility to
the concept of us losing control of THE SYSTEM. But this film goes too
far and fails to suspend my concept of the unbelievable. And that makes
the experience a waste of the viewer's time. This film is a failure.
