Odin D. gave it a 10:
This movie really great.
Anthony G. gave it an 8:
A wonderful movie which keeps you interested throughout its 2 1/2 hour length.
Ted B. gave it an 8:
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!
Jack D. gave it a 6:
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.
Ghet E. gave it a 9:
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.
Bill M. gave it a 7:
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.
Elvis gave it an 8:
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.
