Bad Rendition of Exciting Events

Rating: 6/10 (18 February 2019)

The Cuban Missile Crisis was a very tense and paranoid time in United States history. People were on the brink of falling apart due to the fear they were experiencing fueled by various sources. In a way this crisis, like any other crisis, gave way to intensive political theater which further made people totally freak out. This movie properly illustrates the tension of these days and the affects on the officials' families as well as the surrounding citizenry.
With all that said, I do wish this movie had paid more attention to the general ambiance of the nation rather than the struggles and actions of government officials.The movie has a taut, flat style, which may be appropriate for the events narrated, but it was still a bit boring in my opinion.
Overall, decent movie, sufficient explosions.
