I just want to add one thing

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2007)

I agree with what has been said in praise of this movie. It's very good. I will not repeat others' comments, although I support them. I'll only add one bit. The film mentions the cause of the Bay of Pigs fiasco as being the fact that the Cubans knew when and where the attackers would land. While true, the movie does not mention the main reason the operation was a bloody disaster: the fact that President Kennedy canceled the mission's air support at the 11th hour. Was this left out for any reason? It distorts the uninformed viewer's understanding of that ugly episode of history. I wonder if this is due to ignorance or bias.
