Operation Avalanche is, in the end, a clever entertainment, but all the work that Johnson, Boles, and co. have put in – the savvy recreations and incorporation, the documentary-style filming, not to mention plugging into a world of conspiracies both imagined and real – gives it extra resonance... The earnest enthusiasm with which Operation Avalanche begins, and the paranoia and fear toward which it proceeds, chart the course of an entire nation.
