Solid political drama with excellent dialogue and lead performances.

Rating: Null/10 (22 September 2003)

13 days is an excellent window into the events which unfolded in October of 1962, when the world stood still and turned their heads towards the Caribbean island of Cuba. Bruce Greenwood ( John F. Kennedy), Stephen Culp( Robert Kennedy ) and Kevin Costner ( Kenny O'donnell ) each deliver excellent performances, and are supported by a class "A" cast of joint chiefs, cabinet ministers and diplomats. anyone who wishes to find an introduction to the Cuban missile crisis should find this movie exciting and entertaining. it is also a must see for history buffs and movie lovers alike. as to the historical accuracy, I am afraid each of us must judge for ourselves what is fact and what is fabrication.
