Strangelove.That absurd humor heightens the film’s silliness, creating an offbeat, madcap story.

But for all that silliness, the film is simultaneously a strongsatire about military operationsand the war machine.

The satire points out how secrecy can become a self-justifying cycle that leads to paranoia and abuse.

Andre Braugher and Scott Speedman along with the cast of Last Resort together

This short-lived series is one of Braugher’s most underrated roles.

Thecast’s chemistryand performances make this film a real gem and one worth seeking out.

What isn’t to like about that?
