Movie Reviews of The Manhattan Project
Movie Review: John Lithgow shines in this thrill ride of a movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
When "The Manhattan Project" was first released back in 1986, I was still just a little kid back then. But now, I checked out the film at the video store and I thought that it was so entertaining that it would keep you on the edge of your seat from pulse-pounding start to breathtaking finish! As far as the direction is concerned, Marshall Brickman (screenwriter for "Intersection") directed this film with sheer intensity all the way, and that is what I like about films like this. And as far as the performances go, a lot of the credit goes to John Lithgow ("Cliffhanger"), Christopher Collet ("Prayer of the Rollerboys"), and Cynthia Nixon ("Sex and the City") for their excellent performances. The film focuses on an overachieving high school student named Paul Stephens (Collet), who decides to infiltrate a research lab facility to steal a bottle of plutonium from John Mathewson (Lithgow), a government scientist who is dating his mother (Jill Eikenberry, "Arthur"), in order to make a nuclear device for his science fair with the help of his girlfriend Jenny (Nixon). When word gets out about the plutonium being stolen, the military is being called in to investigate, and Paul is really in for the nightmare ride of his life! And, pretty much, the only person who can help Paul is Dr. Mathewson as they put both their lives on the line in order to keep the device from nuclear annihilation of everyone within a 10-mile radius. In closing, this film has it all! A great cast, superb storytelling, and suspense that doesn't let up for a minute make "The Manhattan Project" one of the absolute best and thought-provoking thrillers of 1986! I simply can't wait for the DVD of "The Manhattan Project" to be released!
