HELLO SELF KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS: WHEN I WAS A BOY THESE COVERT BODY GUARDS DID THE SAME THING LIKE YIGDAL AMIR DID IT TO HIS BOSS IN ISRAEL, IN TEL AVIV, 1998. I ALSO NEVER SUBSCRIBED TO CHEAP PULP FICTION LIKE B F SKINNER OR PAVLOV'S SALIVATING DOGS STUDIES SIMPLY FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON: MY SIBLINGS WERE TOO MUCH TOO CONCEITED AND DOWN THE NOSE LIKE THE BRITS TO EVER ALLOW OR CONSIDER THEIR ANIMALISTS: GEORGE ORWELL OR ALDOUS HUXLEY TO WIN THE DAY AND ALLOW THE BEHAVIORISTS OR COGNITI

The movie, or teleplay, was competently executed. However, it reminds me how much Kevin Costner must discipline himself to stay behind the camera, not be in front of it. Most of the actors succeeded, for me, in suspending belief (that we're watching a play) except Costner. He's just not an actor, but he's a fine director and producer. That accent of his was hilarious.

An excellent, fairly accurate, portrayal of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Every character felt like they could be the actual person EXCEPT Kevin Costner's character of Kenny O'Donnell. He sticks out like a sore thumb and has a terrible Boston accent to boot. Otherwise, this is probably the best dramatic portrayal of the Cuban Missile Crisis which I watch every October.
