Haha.
Did anyone else just crack up when Costner spoke this line in his
"Boston"-accent. I know I sure as hell did!
Apart from Costners accent, it's pretty darn good movie, especially if you're interested in the Cuban Missile Crisis, like me.
Very good performances by Bruce Greenwood and Steven Culp. (best not to mention Kevin Costner, though he wasn't bad, apart from his accent ofcourse!)

Bruce Greenwood, there hasn't been a better JFK since Martin Sheen in "Kennedy"
and Steven Culp, there hasn't been a better RFK since..., well euhm, since Martin Sheen in "The Missiles of October"!

Perhaps Martin Sheen, will one day play Teddy, who knows?
Hell, he might even go Tootsie and play Jackie. I'd pay a lot of money to see that!

Great film. Hilarious accent.

I'm not sure why it was exaggerated so much. The real Kenneth O'Donnell doesn't sound like his accent was that pronounced in the recording on the commentary track of the DVD.

Conquer your fear, and I promise you, you will conquer death.

Every time my kids report cards come in the mail I do the accent and reenact the scene from the movie. Kids tell me its getting old but I love doing it.

Kenny's real son played the photo analyst that finds the missiles.
