Thrilling true account of one of the cariest moments of the twentieth century

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2001)

Thirteen Days is arguably the best political thriller since All the Presidents Men. The acting is superb, including Kevin Costner who really hasn't made a great movie like this since Dances with Wolves. Bruce Greenwood and Steven Culp have turned in a couple of the best male performances of the year 2000 as President John Kennedy and Attorney General Robert Kennedy. These fine actors successfully have recreated one of the scariest moments of the twentieth century, the Cuban Missile Crisis. This movie is not just for fans of American History, but for all people who are looking for a good experience at their local multiplex. I hope you enjoy this film as much as I have.
