Reviews for The Manhattan Project
The Manhattan Project remains a clever time capsule of 80s nuclear commentary and a timeless, endlessly watchable thriller.
Many viewers will find themselves cheering for the military men and FBI agents a they try to stop this self-centered kid from achieving his dream of personal glory.
a highly underrated film that anyone can enjoy -- even if you aren't a massive, massive nerd.
There was something absorbing about these nuclear scientists doing their job.
