Excellent Within The Constraints Of The Genre

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2001)

Put simply -- this film is worth the expenditure of seeing it on the silver screen, intelligent, mature entertainment, and generally as good as a film of its genre is going to get. But please, folks, remember that it is a Hollywood version of the events and NOT, by any means, a historical documentary or even an accurate portrayal of events.
Oh yeah, and Kevin Costner's acting is -- as ever -- somewhat wooden, his accent sounds like a bad voice coaching job, and they could have chosen a more controversial subject matter, and portrayed the situation of the Cubans with a bit more (or in fact, any) depth, but what the hell -- I enjoyed watching "Thirteen Days", so I don't want to knock it.
