The CinePearl Take
Morris lets McNamara dominate the narrative, but the director’s editing stitches together a haunting tapestry of images that keep the pace brisk despite the heavy subject matter. The standout performance is McNamara’s own, his voice cracking when he confronts his regrets, which adds a human vulnerability to the geopolitical saga. Themes of unintended consequences and the fog of decision‑making resonate powerfully in today’s polarized climate.
