...CTBT, signed by 154 nations in 1996, would require all member nations to ban underground nuclear testing. The Senate vote was a major setback to proponents of reducing nuclear proliferation as well as a potentially fatal blow to the treaty itself, which will probably not be internationally ratified as a result of the decision.

However, as the contrasts between the righteous Limey and slimy Valentine diminish with the film's progression, the epiphanic conclusion is neither simple nor expected. Like any good noir, the hero's conscience is far from clean...
