Netflix’s New Thriller Is Generating Serious Oscar Buzz — and It’s Not Even Out Yet

Netflix’s New Thriller Is Generating Serious Oscar Buzz — and It’s Not Even Out Yet
SHARE

Longtime followers of Netflix are likely aware that the streaming service seldom releases its original films in theaters prior to their online launch. However, this week presents a notable exception as director Kathryn Bigelow‘s political thriller A House of Dynamite is set to hit a limited number of theaters on October 10.

With its streaming release coming later this month, A House of Dynamite stands out as the Netflix film I’m most excited to watch in October.

Given Netflix’s extensive promotional efforts surrounding this film, it appears to be positioning itself for an awards season push, pending audience reception.

Between Prime Video’s Heads of State and Netflix’s A House of Dynamite, Idris Elba could become the first actor to portray both the UK Prime Minister and the US President in a single year. The latter narrative presents a much graver storyline, focusing on Elba as a leader confronted with a catastrophic decision as his country faces an unprecedented attack.

While Elba leads the cast, he doesn’t enter the scene immediately. Initially, Mission: Impossible‘s Rebecca Ferguson takes the spotlight as Captain Olivia Walker, who is among the first to sense the assault on the nation. In the wake of an apocalyptic crisis, Walker is forced to remain at her post, even if it means losing touch with her family forever. The supporting cast is extraordinary, featuring talents like Gabriel Basso, Jared Harris, Anthony Ramos, Jason Clarke, Moses Ingram, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Kaitlyn Dever.

The Concept Is Particularly Gripping

Many apocalyptic narratives center on protagonists who strive against insurmountable odds to avert global catastrophe. In contrast, A House of Dynamite uniquely illustrates a scenario that cannot be averted. The film depicts a nuclear missile aimed at Chicago, potentially igniting a nuclear war. The government struggles to pinpoint the assailants, but several suspects emerge.

Regardless of who initiated the conflict, time is critically limited—only 20 minutes remain until the missile impacts. While it may seem like an eternity, the narrative delves into this timeframe, rewinding events and exploring different viewpoints throughout the catastrophe. This is not a classic tale of averting disaster; instead, it wrestles with the bleak reality that even those in power cannot halt the impending doom. The choices made in these final moments drive the focus and suspense.

Only three women have ever won an Oscar for Best Director, and Kathryn Bigelow made history as the first. Her acclaimed film, The Hurt Locker, received the Oscar for Best Picture in 2008, marking a significant milestone. Notably, Netflix added this landmark film to its lineup on October 1. Bigelow’s impressive portfolio includes celebrated titles like Zero Dark Thirty, K-19: The Widowmaker, Strange Days, Near Dark, and the original Point Break.

The attention garnered by A House of Dynamite can be attributed to Bigelow’s esteemed reputation as a filmmaker. The film holds an impressive 89 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes and received praise at the Venice International Film Festival in September. However, it reportedly faced mixed reactions at the New York Film Festival, suggesting it may elicit a wider range of views than anticipated. Audiences will have the opportunity to form their own opinions when A House of Dynamite arrives in theaters on October 10, before its streaming release later in the month.
