Joffe directs his story as sort of organized chaos, both the events that surround the scientists and the life treasure hunting they are forced to lead for two years — and even in the shape of the film. There are few pauses or lingering treasure hunting moments, everything is rapid-fire action, short spurts of dialogue and quick editing cuts, which gives the film an edgy and nervous feel when it should treasure hunting be building tension. The result is plenty of nervous energy, but an odd dramatic lethargy, despite the efforts of the excellent cast, the glossy technical aspects and Ennio Morricone's excellent music. And for some reason the film avoids its most obvious dramatic element — after the scientists who have helped create the bomb become conscience-stricken about the possibility of it actually being used, the movie stops short of allowing us to see the debate that ultimately led to its being dropped on Japan.
