Kennedy fans might appreciate Thirteen Days for what it is but the film could do better in putting the right faces up front.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 25, 2020

I find vertiginous and very palpitating what happens in this political thriller, directed by Roger Donaldson, about one of the most tense moments of the Kennedy administration: the Cuban missile crisis. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 21, 2020

It really is the Cuban Missile Crisis played out on a grand scale, and, in some respects, this grandiosity is permissible.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2019

An outstanding movie for families with older kids.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 29, 2010

a slightly more accurate mythology of the Cuban Missile Crisis

| Original Score: C+ | Nov 21, 2010

"Days" terrifically evinces those days' timorous uncertainty of whether Red dread over ending the world matched Yankee angst. The knowing glances at its conclusion speak volumes: The planet's lucky break had only to do with random chance.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 31, 2010

Suspenseful and efficient--to the point that it feels like a soulless, though remarkably well-calibrated, machine.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 14, 2007

An unblinking chronicle of the world on the eve of destruction.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 30, 2005

Thirteen Days will not satisfy young viewers looking for a thriller or older audiences eager to look behind the scenes of an unforgettable two weeks in history.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 25, 2004

Mesmo recriando um incidente histórico, o filme funciona bem como thriller político e traz duas ótimas atuações de Greenwood e Culp.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | May 14, 2003

Thirteen Days is a gripping history lesson and a good character study, but also just a well-cast, well-executed film.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 8, 2003

Why hire a star, or 'allow' a star to hire himself, and then give him nothing to do? Why hire a star who doesn't seem able to do much to begin with?
