“[S]killful storytelling…with the highest stakes imaginable and one that happens to be true. Fiction could not be more frightening, nor make for better cliffhanging entertainment”

- Arthur Lazere

“[T]he moviemakers organize this film's entire 150-minute length less around the chess game with the Kremlin than around an us-against-them melodrama of the Kennedy camp vs. everyone else”

- Michael Sragow
