...this cinematographic sleight of hand would begin to irritate as hyperactive, empty artifice if it weren't for Rush's high-speed approach. The movie hurtles along with a careless, rowdy exuberance for life and the fun of movies. Rush keeps the show moving busily forward, accompanied by a giddy, carnival-like ragtime score; we don't have time to puzzle the enigmas that teem in such overabundance, but at the same time we never have time to pin down the petty annoyances.

Yet each year, in our taut environment of colliding political interests and swelling military arsenals, careless words grow more dangerous and create an alarming impact on strained alliances or suspicious adversaries...
...know of on paper about any sort of coup. It was wild, irresponsible talk if there was anything at all. I've never claimed to be perfect, but I don't believe that anything I've said, if one takes the unedited record of it, was careless or irresponsible...
