Mildly politicized, but worth watching

Rating: Null/10 (3 October 2002)

I found this to be a very interesting movie. I watched it with my husband, who is an amateur military historian, and apparently it is historically quite accurate; I learned more about the Cuban Missile Crisis watching this movie than I did in school, that is for certain.
A few aspects were annoying -- politics creep in just a wee bit, but not nearly so much as I had thought might be the case. Kevin Costner's accent was atrocious at times and bearable at others. Otherwise, the acting is good.
It's not a movie I'll rave about, but I'm not sorry I watched it.
