Fascinating story about something that really happened.

Rating: Null/10 (29 April 2002)

I only wanted to watch this movie because of Bruce Greenwood, however the movie was completely fascinating to me. Not being American - therefore I knew very little about this event. Although I had heard of the Cuban Missile Crisis before, all I knew about it, was that it was about a crisis, in Cuba and it had probably had something to do with missiles.
If you are a history buff, then watch this movie. If you are not, watch it anyway - I cant imagine anybody not liking this movie, because its a true story, great acting, good character likenesses and enough tension to keep you on the edge of your seats - like I was.
Even though I knew that the movie would end without WW3 obviously, but I didn't know how it would turn out and I imagine most people wouldnt and that kept the suspense in the movie right to the very end.
Though I was wondering about JFK - did he really talk like that ? It seemed a very strange accent to me.
