This movie is a fairly good political drama / thriller. You have the main character, Dr. Gerald Bull, a Canadian weapons scientist working for the U.S. government, who gets betrayed and receives a prison sentence. What happens to his character afterwards, and the bitterness he carries with him, is the subject of the movie. The characters are ones that you can sympathize with. Bull goes on a blind quest to fulfill a childhood fantasy from a book he read as a child. However, are his goals really so lofty, or did prison break him?? It is debatable whether he is merely out for himself now, having sold his work to the Iraqis, who contracted him to design and build a super weapon that will target Israel. However, spies worldwide, including Kevin Spacey and a Mossad agent, vow to stop him at any cost. Bull, so deluded by either bitterness or greed, does not even realize that he is putting his own life in danger on many sides....
