Mark O.

I have rarely found an HBO produced movie anything other than excellent. This one was actually only above average but obviously was worthwhile in its depiction of Dr. Gerald Bull and his passion for making bigger and bigger guns. It is interesting in that it ends up being a competition between his passion of gun-making and the absolute danger involved in the people he was willing to sell them to. For example, he helped the Israeli's in one part of his life but years later was doing business with the Arabs concerning a gun that would easily reach Israel. Very dangerous and I won't ruin the movie at this point!
