    The storyline, attention to detail, and most of the acting was top rate. The greatest detraction is Costner's attempt at a "Bahston" accent. Fire the dialog coach!

    A wonderful movie which keeps you interested throughout its 2 1/2 hour length.

    I found this movie to be both suspensful and entertaining. If you're not a fan of Costner, you will be after watching Thirteen Days.

    Having lived through this time period, the attention to visual detail and the sense of place was nice. The story was mainly good because I knew it had really happened.

    Although I am a Richard Nixon fan (he let me meet him on short notice and made me an honrary agent of the law) this film gave me a new respect for the Kennedys and those 13 days. Good Film.

    Thought all the actors actually looked like the real people they portrayed.

    I would have never willingly gone to see this movie. I would have expected it to be either bland or sensational. Since they had it in the plane I was in, I thought I might as well watch. I am glad I did. The suspense mounts as the movie unfolds in spite of knowing exactly how it ends.

    Kevin Costner can't act, that accent he was trying to do was awful. I couldn't watch the whole movie.

    First Kevin Costner saved baseball..now he saves the world. Is there nothing he can't do (besides act)? Considering that you know the outcome from the start, the movie manages to keep up the suspense level. If you can distinguish the fiction from the fact, it is worth seeing.

    Many films of it's type will fall short of complete fascination, not "Thirteen Days," and it does it over 145 minutes.

    Assiduous, temperate, and a lot more honest about government and politicians than any other Hollywood film of the last few decades, Thirteen Days is nevertheless too little, too late.

    The players don't particularly look like their historical models, but they make us feel their life-threatening pain and puzzlement.

    Reasonably intelligent, well-crafted and dramatically understated.
