Thirteen Days (2000)★ 7.1/10

It's a really solid political thriller with just the right amount of historical twists. The back-and-forth struggles within ExComm are nailed perfectly, and the portrayals of Robert McNamara and Stevenson are spot-on. That said, the story exaggerates the protagonist's influence on the decision-making process and overlooks what it's truly like to be a bystander at the center of power.

This is definitely one of the most intense movies I’ve ever seen! The fact that I can sit here with my cat in my lap is all because of the people who chose peace over nuclear war during those tense 13 days decades ago.

It's a bummer that the whole movie is told from an American perspective. It would've been way better if we got to see both sides.

Um filme para acelerar o coração e inteligente, que devolveu Kevin Costner aos principais papéis. Talvez tenha muito diálogo, mas é o thriller político mais emocionante que há.
