Review of The Manhattan Project (1986) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 24 Oct 1996
A clever, funny and very skillful thriller about how a kid builds his own atomic bomb. This isn't really a teenage movie at all, it's a thriller. And it's one of those thrillers that stays as close as possible to the everyday lives of convincing people, so that the movie's frightening aspects are convincing.
