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.

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.

Everyone but Kevin Costner nailed it. His Massachusetts accent stinks.

Takes a bit to pick up but good ending

Having lived through the time I found it especially interesting and quite gripping too -- great film

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.

A very good film that tells the story of the Cuban missile crisis from the prespective of the Americans. the film does omit one of two details and one or two accents are a bit off here and there. But overall a solid film.

Great movie, with great performances, with an edge of your seat build up of tension. Of course, as with current events, you don't get the true full picture, which would have made more of a morally challenging and arguably better movie. Missed is the fact that the US FIRST broke the agreement and moved missiles under Russia's nose into Turkey (in direct striking distance), with this being Russias response to that US move.

The film presents a singular perspective, that of the Americans, regarding their efforts to safeguard their country from perceived Russian aggression. This narrative omits the fact that the United States was the first to install nuclear weapons in Turkey, in contravention of an agreement signed in 1959 to install nuclear missiles in NATO bases. Indeed, 15 missiles were installed in the town of Izmir between 1961 and 1963. The Russians also cite the United States bombing of Japan in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the Second World War in August 1945 as a justification for their concerns. Moreover, Russia had come to the aid of its ally Cuba, which had been subjected to pressure from the USA following the revolution and the ascension of Fidel Castro to power. As indicated in the film, the Russians agreed to withdraw the missiles from Cuba after an agreement indicating that the USA would not attack Cuba and that the missiles installed in Turkey would be withdrawn without public announcement.

A surprisingly good re-enactment of the missile crisis, only tainted by the ludicrous embellishment of phoning the spy plane pilot and the resulting displays of unnecessary patriotism. Overall excellent however. Watched this one on Prime.

The biggest draw? It is how he spreads the tension that was experienced in those 13 days of yore, in which the threat of a nuclear war became palpable. One of Kevin Costner's most memorable roles.

Excellent film. A remarkable point in USA history and a huge wake-up call reminder that we must have a strong, vital leader at the helm 24/7. Vote as if your life and country depends upon it. Because it does. Also JFK was on a heavy amount of opioids for severe back pain, but he was no junkie!

An entertaining portrayal of the Cuban missile crisis that shows how many were probably saved from death by the obstinacy of the Kennedys.

A very great and dramatic portrayal of the Cuban Missile Crisis with very few flaws.

The infamous Cuba missile crisis, insane tense stressful 2 weeks; you can hear yourself holding your breath while time stood still. A great history lesson that nearly brings the world WW3, hope all mankind learnt something here. Outstanding just brilliant filmmaking even for those not into war movies.

Thirteen Days is a fantastic film. It is about the Kennedy administration who struggles to contain the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. Kevin Costner and Bruce Greenwood give amazing performances. The screenplay is good but a little slow in places. Roger Donaldson did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and history. Thirteen Days is a must see.

THey did a good job making making me feel the anxiety and stakes of that period. But all the accents and faces just don't match and threw me off so, meh.

I guess interesting and a bit informative but kinda dull maybe it was because I’m pretty familiar with the story 3.1

13 Days is a magnificent film. It is broadly true to historical events and to RFKs memoir of the same name. It is captivating throughout its 3 hour duration. You get a feel for the decision makers and the ebbs and flows of the policy process. Probably my fave film.

Gripping portrayal of the machinations which took place behind the scenes in the Kennedy Whitehouse, throughout the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Shows how just a few cool heads, on both sides, prevented World War 3.
