Bombshell

About This Movie

Bombshell (1997) is one of those curious gems that blends science fiction with a thriller vibe, diving into the murky waters of bioengineering. The film leans heavily into this unsettling atmosphere, where characters at a biotech company wield nanotechnology — think tiny, smart robots — to control their surroundings and people, all under the guise of doing good. The pacing isn't always tight, but it adds to the film's eerie tension. The performances, while not the most polished, have a rawness that fits the story’s unsettling themes. The practical effects used for demonstrating the nanotechnology are particularly intriguing, giving it a unique touch that sets it apart from more polished productions of its time.
