Doomsday Gun Reviewed: Flight of Fancy, At All Cost

History students looking for a research projest will like this subject. A real Greek tragedy in modern times of a man who's life-long desire to fulfill a dream, tarnished by political corruption, eventually leads to his death. But as the researcher will note, the corruption spans not only through the intelligence community of the super powers, but well within the USDA, leading to the BNL loan scandal and the Lincoln Savings and Loan scandal. A true account of how Saddam Hussein liquidated millions of dollars worth of material goods funded and forwarded to him in the form of loan guarantees made by the National Banc de Lavore in Italy, underwritten by the Atlanta's branch of the BNL, and secured by the US Department of Agriculture using the Famers Subsidies account in the form of "Humantitarian Goods", though under "Black Operations" from the CIA. About 90% accurate, it is a must see for all history and conspiracy-theory buffs.

As far as the acting goes, Kevin Spacey did a nice job playing a concerned CIA agent, while Alan Arkin played his Isreali nemisis. Tony Goldwin gives a nice performance of a CIA typical "office man" out to get the "points." But the main praise must go to Frank Langella who plays the part of the "famed-turned-dangerous" gunmaker Dr. Gerald Vincent Bull, to the tenth degree.

I highly recommend this movie and wish its availability to the public even more so.

(This subject got me an "A" on my history project entitled "The Rape of the American Farmer, and the Arming of Iraq.") Audience count: thumbs up!

An Excellent Portrayl of Events Little of Us Know of...

"Doomsday Gun" shouldve been a theatrical release because of its topics. Frank Langella plays the part of scientist/arms specialist Dr. Gerald Bull, who spent most of his career building massive guns of ultimate destruction. After spending a year in prison for breaking international embargo laws by shipping his weapons to Africa, he makes building the largest and most powerful gun in the world his passion...and obsession. Befriended American CIA Agent Jim Price (Kevin Spacey), desperately tries to convince Bull while in prison that he must stop his weapon production for his own safety. Bull thinks however that everyone, even Price is out to shut down his dream. He makes a deal with Iraq at the height of the Gulf War, to build the ultimate super-gun that can be theirs for money. Money never appears to be the issue though, for Dr. Bull is willing to risk everything to see his gun and his name go down in history...regardless of the prices he might have to pay. The movie is brilliantly done with a cast of true and convincing characters, who expose the details of one of the biggest government cover-ups in many years. Many movies based upon true events we could surely have done without, but this film is one that I believe had to be done...leaving the question in everyone's mind: "Would we have known all about this by just relating stories of news reports?"...

I WISH THIS WASN'T A TRUE STORY

This is a true story of how one man -- plus those in the US, Canadian and British governments were involved in selling military weapons to Iraq (Before the Gulf war of course) This one man was obsessed with building a "super gun" and the Iraqui's were the buyers. Worth watching

A great film

This is a highly watchable thriller, made even more interesting because it's based on fact. Frank Langella is great as the naive builder of the super gun who doesn't understand what he is getting himself (and the rest of the world) into. The supporting cast, which includes Kevin Spacey, are also excellent.
