"Thirteen Days"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Bruce Grenwood and Stephen Culp have more than passing resemblences to JFK and Bobby Kennedy in this politcal thriller about the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. Kevin Costner is not bad as Kenney O'Donnell, special asistant to the President but his screenplay role is far more invvoled than O'Donnell's actual historic role. Other actors are skillfully chosen and the film, like, say, "The Day of the Jackal" has us on edge even though we know the real outome of events.
I have seen this about four times and recommend it highly. For once, most of the actors have the New England accents down (except Costner, who is clearly straining). And the portrait of Air Force General and Joint Chief Chairman is a bit over the top and he comes acroos as a nuclear psycho.
