A House of Dynamite is explosive, and so is the film's soundtrack, which you can enjoy in the aftermath of the ICBM impact while the sun shines again on us. All in all, there are 25 songs in the movie from different artists that you can enjoy and share with fellow music buffs if you want.
Apart from these songs, the music of the film is composed by German composer Volker Bertelmann, who won an Academy Award for his score in the 2022 epic anti-war film, All Quiet on the Western Front, which also won three more Oscars, including Best International Feature, Best Cinematography, and Best Production Design.
Katheryn Bigelow directed the film with a screenplay from Noah Oppenheim. Bigelow has already won a couple of Oscars for her 2009 film, The Hurt Locker 2009, where Jeremy Renner was in the lead.
Maybe A House of Dynamite will be seen on the Oscars stage too, but we will have to wait for that. As of this writing, the movie is being praised by the fans and critics alike, as its score shows on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.
Its website consensus reads,
Playing out a nightmare scenario with nerve-wracking plausibility, Kathryn Bigelow's masterfully-constructed A House of Dynamite is an urgent thriller that's as distressing as it is riveting.
According to the film's synopsis (via Rotten Tomatoes),
"From Academy Award® winning director Kathryn Bigelow. When a single, unattributed missile is launched at the United States, a race begins to determine who is responsible and how to respond."
The Tomatometer there says 79%, while the Popcornmeter is slightly less with 77%.
