Review on Last Best Chance

Posted on | February 5, 2006 |

Okay, I finally had the oppurtunity to watch Last Best Chance last night. Of course after the rerun of CSI. Anyway, I understand the point of the movie, which by the way is the possibility of a nuclear attack on America from terrorist cells in the Middle East.

That is all the movie about. The film is well done except in my opinion, too short. It was only 45 minutes where I was expecting a full length movie. But with that aside it starts in Russia between two guys one is to steal nuclear material for the other guy’s clients (Al Quadea). So somewhere in the former Soviet he goes into a nuclear store room and steals 2 warheads. The story evolves from there to the warheads are on their way to the United States. Also the movie points out, at least in my opinion, is the slowness of intelligence coming into the White House or intelligence they feel is nothing really to special but really has importance.

There was one part when the White house finds out about the plan to steal the warheads. But it is too late as it already happened. The White House finds out later and then they get in panic mode as because they don’t know where the warheads are or where they are going.

The Nuclear Threat Initative who produced this movie claim that some of this movie is based on fact and other parts based on the very likelihood of something happening. Pretty much coming to conclusions from respected politicians and scientists.

So if you would like to have one for yourself go here: www.lastbestchance.com or www.nuclearthreatintiative.org for your free DVD. Check it out, it just might open your eyes to danger we thought didn’t exsist anymore since there was the Soviet Union.

Have a Super Sunday and don’t forget to root for the Steelers!!!
