Advantages: Superb acting, taut storyline, high drama Disadvantages: Kennedy aint no saint
to name but three - and he's sadly lacking in almost every department. Compare him to one of the best loved (and most misrepresented) Presidents - JFK - and his handling of an equally troubled time (the Cuban Missile Crisis) and I know who I'd rather have in charge.
13 Days, out now on video and DVD, tells the tale of how the world came to the very brink of nuclear war and how the American political and military leaders dealt with the crisis. The best known actors in it are Bruce Greenwood and Kevin Costner as JFK and the Special Assistant to the President Kevin O'Conner respectively.
