Give Costner a break. This movie is great.

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 2002)

Why does everyone hate Kevin Costner all of a sudden? After Waterworld came out, the American public seemed to loathe Kevin Costner. I don't get it. Let's not forget about Field of Dreams, Dances with Wolves, JFK, and other great films starring Costner.
After reading numerous comments on this movie, I've found that the biggest complaint is that people don't like Costner's New England accent. Are you seriously going to hate a movie because of an accent? By the way, many New Englanders do sound like that. Try spending time north of New York, and you'll hear it. The biggest reason it sounds weird in this movie is because we're not used to hearing Costner talk that way.
Thirteen Days is a great political thriller. Let's give Costner a break.
