Review of WarGames (1983) by Andrew C. D — 01 Sep 2014

Incredible filmmaking can make low quality tactical readouts more suspenseful then any amount of explosions and shootings.

Matthew Broderick invents the character that he is later typecasted as in Ferris Bueller and Ladyhawke: a manipulative, amoral, and even sociopathic teenager who, while he takes advantage of others at every turn, never intends any real damage and makes his deviant actions appear like harmless fun.
