PRESIDENT JACK KENNEDY FANS WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2004)

13 DAYS in OCTOBER 1962 was an agonizing time for PRESIDENT KENNEDY. He had just discovered that the Russians had satellites capable of emmitting cosmic rays against individuals on earth just strong enough to cause pain. JFK also discovered that the Russians had put nuclear missiles in Cuba. The military urged attacks against cuba but Bobby Kennedy suggested a blockade or quarantine around cuba. The first time I felt the pain in my side was at a computer lab at a college in Sudbury Ontario. I was working at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory at the time. I never felt the pain underground in the observatory at 6800 feet down. At least there is some relief from cosmic rays underground. Bruce Greenwood shines as PRESIDENT KENNEDY who delivers solid leadership. Kevin Costner gives a great performance as Kenny O'Donnell the special assistant to the PRESIDENT. President Jack Kennedy fans will love this movie. I believe that President Kennedy is still alive and is the shadow President with President George W Bush. I gave 13 DAYS a 10 out of 10.
