blown away

Rating: Null/10 (29 January 2001)

I am Hungarian, and went to see this movie with my two roommates, a French and an English citizen. All three of us had a very strong and very positive reaction. Thirteen Days is one of the best movies that came out of Hollywood in the past few years. It is not sappy, it is not overly patriotic and doesn't try to teach you an obvious lesson. It simply grabs you by the throat and does not let you go for 2 1/2 hours. A brilliantly made and truly fascinating movie, highly recommended to anyone.
