Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Poitier does an excellent job in both the light and serious aspects of his role, and manages to leave a personal stamp on his scenes.

rotten:
The whole thing transcends plausibility -- for a moderately wised-up viewer, at least -- because of its gross exaggeration of a highly improbable episode.

rotten:
A serviceable but not very exceptional cold-war thriller.

fresh:
Harris, Stanley Kubrick's former producer, here came up with his own Dr Strangelove variant, muting the black humour but just as incisively diagnosing nuclear insanity.
