ReviewsLos Angeles Times - ...Crisp and involving....Efficient and low-key, THIRTEEN DAYS takes itself seriously enough while maintaining a powerful dramatic momentum..., Box Office - ...Genuinely gripping....Virtually nonstop suspense..., Film Comment - ...A very good articulation of values at a timely moment..., Total Film - "...Eerie, compelling viewing....This riveting thriller will have you talking and thinking long after the lights have gone up..." -- 4 out of 5 stars, USA Today - "...The actor who steals [the film] is the one who should: Bruce Greenwood as JFK..." -- 3 out of 4 stars, Entertainment Weekly - Ranked #10 in Entertainment Weekly's "Owen Gleiberman's BEST MOVIES OF 2000"<BR>-- "...Vividly detailed, pulse-quickening..."
Additional InformationA series of beautiful but devastating atomic explosions provides a vision of gorgeous, appalling destruction that hangs ominously over the political drama of THIRTEEN DAYS. It's October 16, 1962 and, it is not just another day at the office for Kenneth O'Donnell (Kevin Costner), the Special Assistant to President John F. Kennedy (Bruce Greenwood). O'Donnell soon discovers the President has just been handed a series of photographs taken from a U-2 spy plane over Cuba. They show deployed Soviet missile launchers capable of firing medium-range ballistic missiles that could hit all major US cities--except Seattle--within minutes.<BR>THIRTEEN DAYS is a vivid dramatization of what happened in the Kennedy White House during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Seen through the eyes of O'Donnell, it is a close-up view of President Kennedy and his brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy (Steven Culp), as they try to negotiate through a crisis which has many of their closest advisors ready to wage what all feared might have been the ultimate war. The script, by David Self, is based on interviews, CIA documents, and White House tapes. Director Roger Donaldson captures the extraordinary tension in the White House as he brings to life every heart-stopping moment.

  • This film was so thought provoking. Everybody should see it.

    I thought the film was brilliant, well acted, but most of all the content was such an eye opener for me. I had no idea we were so close to having a nuclear war. In my opinion this film should be much more available to the general public than it is. Everybody should watch this film!

  • An absolute must see for those who did not live through it

    For those who did not live through this event, as a teenager, every day I was at work I wondered if I would see my family in the evening again. A film well worth seeing, a historical précis, than you JFK.

  • Thirteen days

    It brings a time in history where the world held it's breath wondering if there would be a world due to the superpowers going to the brink of nuclear war over Soviet missiles being based in Cuba. The tension builds as the timeline advances during the film.

    Excellent film about the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. I was born two months after this event and my mum remembers it well. Very watchable and a must see for any fans of anything Kennedy. The casting is excellent as well. 10/10.
