Brilliant movie with only a few drawbacks.

Rating: 8/10 (1 September 2001)

The Cuba Missile Crisis was one of the most serious moments in
the history of the world. Due to the peaceful result most people
don't know much about it and thankfully this movie has come out to
show just how tense the two week period was. The acting on the
whole is very good and the history was enough to be a gripping
story. The only problem is that the movie at 150 min is a touch on
the long side, a risky thing when you consider the lack of physical
action on the screen. Whether for fun or for education, this movie
is one to be enjoyed by all.
