Very good film

Rating: 9/10 (25 August 2001)

Not knowing alot about the cuban missile crisis, I found this movie to be so good I was in awe. This film isn't for those who hate dialogue films. This was hence a war of words more than a show of force, meaning...our hot dog is longer than yours crap that gave the cold war it's name. (just in case. there might be spoilers and there might not be.)
Knowing that bobby & Jack are killed later on in the game, it's rather sobering to see them being acted out. Knowing that every line these actors are playing are playing people who's emotions won't last the decade. There is a small bit about the casting of JFK. Kevin Costner sounds more like JFK than the person playing him. This is not to say Kevin's er accent is off. (like Robin Hood) Since I never even heard of Kenny, I doubt I can make a judgement call on how bad Kevin's voice is.
This movie would be great for a history report. (bearing in mind that not everything this movie is... is true.) In the end, I really found myself loving this film. There's a quality to it that isn't like other films out there. Perhaps because it's a history piece.
Either way, the dvd will blow your mind. It's got historical footage up the wazzooooooo.... deleted scenes and the works. Not bad for such a film. (and no it doesn't star any hunks in this movie) Highly recommend renting/buying this dvd. (via Netflix or dvdovernight on the web or your local fun store. :)
