Even when it's not 100% historically accurate, this movie is still relevant, and one of my favorite Cold Ward flicks of all time. It gets the message across, making you wonder about the hard, hard choices that Kennedy had to make in that given period of time. The development of a new diplomatic language, rules of engagement and nuclear policy as we know it today. The tension and thrill feels real (the low altitude fly-by and the U2 scenes are just great), both as a testament of those cold warriors and the way policy is made, to this day.

A seriously underrated film, build tension incredibly, acting is fantastic (once you get used to the accents), based on historical events fairly decently. No twists how it ends, but still an amazing tension filled ride. As long as you like the political side of things.

Great film and I agree with a lot of the other comments. Seriously underrated (dodgy American Irish accents aside!) . The tension is palpable and it gives you a real sense of how it may have been for the people working through that period! Frightening!

An excellent historic movie about the Cuban missile crisis. Given that the movie stays reasonable close to the (known) reality of what really happened back then, it is not only entertaining but also educational.

This movie is probably not for everyone but it was absolutely terrific. You have to be a fan of political thrillers and especially interested in history or this is just going to seem like a weak drama with very little in the way of character development. In all honesty, there really _was_ very littl More

The art of political film making in all its glory.

"Communicate with the Soviets? We can't communicate with the Pentagon - and it's just across the goddamn river!"

October 1962, for 13 days the American government fought to avert a nuclear war when it was discovered that the Soviet Union had d More

Kevin Costner at least tried to do an accent in this movie, which probably means he got a new agent, a yes man that didn't bother to give him the advice that doing believable accents isn't his thing. It's almost like listening to your average Brit trying to sound like an American and completely ove More
