This was an excellent film with a great cast. Paul Newman and Dwight Schultz were on top form…

Review of Fat Man and Little Boy (1989)

By Anthony S (1,574) on 26 Sep 2008

A fascinating subject and story is turned into a dull and unfocused film. The start of Roland Joffe's downfall…

Review of Fat Man and Little Boy (1989)

By Cory K (220) on 04 Aug 2008

Ennio Morricone's scores are usually spot on, but his work in this film just served as a distraction, almost as much as the cheesy John Cusack/Laura…

By Nate A (393) on 01 Jul 2008

Being a student of history, this is a terrific story. The cast is terrific and the story authentic…

It's an alright dramatization. I'm obsessed with this topic and I wasn't as disappointed as I thought I'd be…

All I remember from the film are the names of the two bombs…

Review of Fat Man and Little Boy (1989)

By Mark W (2,041) on 27 Sep 2007

Ok film. Mangles history and uses composite characters a bit too much for something so well documented…

Review of Fat Man and Little Boy (1989)

By Dems 3 (1) on 06 May 2006

Good cast, but they don't seem to have their hearts in their roles. The period detail is so-so. Too long for it's own good…
