From the moment a boulder rolls into Gal’s perfect pool, we know something massive and terrible is headed towards his perfectly curated life.
That the terrible thing that arrives is simply Ben Kingsley - and yet somehow still delivers on every promise of intensity and terror that the boulder forewarned - is a testament to one of cinemas best performances and it’s most unique mobster films.
If only the McCarthy-ism segments of the film were as half as interesting as the actual building of the bomb, Oppenheimer would not have felt as long as it’s 3 hour runtime. The performances are outstanding, and when it gets moving Oppenheimer is awe inspiring. Unfortunately, so much of that awe is buried between a narrative about Washington politics that doesn’t hold a candle to the actual arms race.
