Plot:
When released in December 2000, Thirteen Days was pummeled for taking liberties with the facts of the Cuban missile crisis and smothering its compelling drama with phony Boston accents by its p...( read more

I generally don't like Kevin Costner (he's the weakest link in this film, actually), but this movie is very suspenseful. Oh by the way, Costner's Baawwston accent is atrocious!
good movie, but it was dragged out too long and had no scenes of
combat *except a plane being shot at* the movie sort of just stepped back and looked at the goverment
Good. Some aspects of the acting detract from the amazing story, and parts are fictionalized (obviously so) for the sake of presentation, but I'm willing to overlook that in light of the historical importance of the story and the portrayal of leadership under pressure with a strong intellectual, self-questioning take.
This war movie (well... not quite a war thankfully) based on the Cuban Missle crisis is looked down upon by most viewers because of the lack of exaggerated drama and fictional romance. While I will admit I was bored through a portion of the movie I was kind of glad they focused more on the history lesson being taught than trying to make up some fake story to get a better audience reaction. Yes Kevin Costner's fake boston accent was annoying, and yes they could have cut out a portion of the movie to make it easier to watch in one sitting, but nonetheless there were some moments of dialogue that were incredibly inspiring and brilliant. At points I could almost feel the tension the US leaders were feeling at the time even though I already knew the outcome of the situation.
This is really quite dull and boring, which means it totally fails to capture the sense of urgency and drama of that period.
