Movie Review: The Missiles of October
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to share with my two sons. I had watched it my Junior year in High School. I remember how shocked I was at the time as I had no knowledge of any of this taking place. It's done, not so much as a movie but almost more as a documentary. I feel it's better than the more recent movie done on this subject starring Kevin Costner as it gives you more of a feeling of watching history unfold. I would HIGHLY recommend this movie.Movie Review: best docu-drama ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
Devane and Sheen were as close to the real McCoys as anyone could possibly find to make this film. The Crisis needed no injection of suspense, and none was added here. In fact, the only (very minor) drawback to the film was that the producers apparently UNDERPLAYED the emotion--even breakdowns--that occurred in the President's council during the crisis. This drama should be required viewing in all introductory American history courses.Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a very good and historically accurate portrayal of the Cuban Missle Crisis. If you liked "13 Days" then you will like this one, in some ways I like this one over 13 Days. It shows what is happening in both the Kremlin as well as the White House. Missiles is very well acted by a great cast. I would recomend this to any history buff, or anyone simply looking for an entertaining drama.Movie Review: A Movie Everyone Should See
Summary: 5 Stars
I lived through the Missiles of October. It is still amazing and truly frightening to see how close we came to nuclear war. No Senator, Congressional Rep, candidate for President, or informed voter should miss this film. I'd seen it on TV, then bought the video. The DVD makes the scenes even more immediate. All the acting is superb. Want to know why we need a President who can THINK? This is why.Movie Review: Way better than Costner's movie !
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best depictions of the Cuban missile crisis ever made- terrifically acted by a true all star cast. Too bad that a lot of the actors never got off of the T.V. set and into major movies. One of the most important aspects to this movie is the portrayal of the Soviet side of the affair and the problems Nikita Krushchev had within his own power structure. Definitely one for the library !
