Jelisije J A very well done film of the Cuban Missile Crisis of how the USA handled the situation and the aftermath. A must watch for anyone wanting to see how the world almost ended. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Michael W This political movie was really good. Kevin Costner, Bruce Greenwood, Steven Gulp, Dylan Baker, and the rest of the cast did an excellent job in this movie. This true story about the Cuban Missile Crisis was dramatic, suspenseful, and thrilling. It's about making the right decision to prevent a war from ever happening. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a definite must see. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Audience Member Everyone but Kevin Costner nailed it. His Massachusetts accent stinks. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Chris F Takes a bit to pick up but good ending Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Arthur B Having lived through the time I found it especially interesting and quite gripping too -- great film Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Blu B A Political Thriller Classic. Really well made all around and pretty easy to follow overall. The things that hold this back are very minor. For one, the Costner scenes feel a bit unneeded and that New England acccent man...And finally, there is A LOT that is in here. It's not that's its hard to follow which is a testament to how well it's made and understands its subject matter. I don't really know how you fix it without dumbing it down or giving it the Michael Bay treatment. It is what it is. What this does right: Bruce Greenwood is the best thing in this and is excellent as JFK. You truly can feel the weight he's carrying. The acting in general is excellent save for Costner. What's impressive is how it very clearly explains a very complex situation visually and very clearly in such a way youdon't have to have lived through the 60's to understand it. It does such a good job making it so easy to understand and besides Greenwoods performance is the biggest accomplishment. It also gives character to everyone involved and never feels dry at all and very intense the entire way. Despite jumping between the main trio it never feels jumpy really just slightly bloated. In terms of theatrical release films this is the best one I've seen about the Cuban Missle Crisis and does a great job covering almost every detail in a interesting and accessible way. Anyone who is interested in learning about this, or fans of thrillers, or any actors in this should check this out.
