This is one of those films in which, like "Day of the Jackal" or "Titanic", even though you know the outcome you still get caught up in the drama and suspense as events unfold. Bruce Greenwood and Stephen Culp are utterly convincing as JFK and RFK and Kevin Costner is OK as their trusted friend and advisor Kenney O'Donnell. It's hard to decide whether General Curtis leMay is portrayed accurately but from what I have read he really was like he is shown in the film. There is not a weak moment or drop in supense throughout the movie and it holds up well to many multiple viewings. It is sobering to realize how close the world came to nuclear disaster in 1962. Highly recommended for all ages.
