 Thirteen Days
Maybe "Thirteen Days" was shot in actual time, because despite a riveting concept and some stellar performances, the film is marred by dangerously slow pacing, surprisingly underdeveloped characters, and an overall structure that fails to take an emotional hold.
Unfortunately, that's not the case with "Thirteen Days." There's no doubt that this is a story that needs to be told (let's face it--global-thermonuclear war is a bad, bad thing!), but the film spends far too much time looking at what's going on behind closed doors instead of what's going on in the outside world.
On the surface, "Thirteen Days" may sound like a return to form for Kevin Costner, but then again, so did "For Love of the Game." Costner may deliver a strong and assured performance, but he will never be compared to Meryl Streep when it comes to mastering various forms of dialect.

After that walloping start, Thirteen, which is set in Los Angeles, jumps back in time to introduce Tracy, four months earlier, when she was still a good girl: when she listened to her mom and didn't pierce herself, use drugs, steal, or have sex with boys.
Thirteen is a cautionary bad-girl picture, a genre that's been kicking around since before movies could talk: It's the stuff of laughable '50s juvenile delinquent films, '70s TV movies with Linda Blair, and Afterschool Specials.

 Flipside Movie Emporium: Thirteen Days Movie Review
The key to Thirteen Days, Roger Donaldson's gripping new account of the Cuban missile crisis, is creating tension out of an event to which everyone knows the outcome.
Thirteen Days starts by having a good account of the facts and a strong sense of how to mine their inherent dramatic potential.
Thirteen Days presents an account of the crisis from beginning to end, as seen from the eyes of one of Kennedy's senior advisors, Kenny O'Donnell (Kevin Costner).

Much press has been devoted to the fact that Thirteen was co-scripted by its director, Catherine Hardwicke, and by its second lead, Nikki Reed, herself a sixteen-year-old describing her life's experiences from a few years prior.
The jittery, excitable camera is whipped into such a frenzy over Wood's pierced navel that the conflict of the scene is not between her own transgression and her mother's despair, but between the rather mundane facts and the movie's deliriously baleful response.
Herein lie the contradictions of Thirteen: the movie is already so convinced of its own crisis by the time it starts that the audience never has to discover that crisis for itself.

Thirteen Days chronicles the Cuban Missile Crisis through the eyes of Special Advisor to the President Kenny O'Donnell (Costner, For Love of the Game, 3,000 Miles to Graceland).
Thirteen Days also goes beyond the White House and shows other, related events, putting O'Donnell and the Kennedy's decisions in a larger context and more fully revealing the bigger picture.

"Thirteen Days" provides a flawed but gripping look at the United States' side of the crisis and shows that the men in the White House were just as scared as I was.
A number of documentaries depict the goings-on in both Washington and Moscow, as did ABC in the early '70s, when the network presented "The Missiles of October," a well-received dramatization starring William Devane as John Kennedy, Martin Sheen as Bobby and Howard da Silva as Khrushchev.
While the filmmakers behind "Thirteen Days" would likely argue that their approach makes dramatic sense, I believe the film would not have suffered by presenting a complete view.

Thirteen Days: (Trevor Jones) A composer and instructor of great talents, Trevor Jones is an artist on the brink of bursting through into the elite of the film music hierarchy.
While some scores may be difficult to grasp on album because of their experimental instrumentation or minimalistic styles, Thirteen Days is a difficult score to listen to because it so well portrays the tension of the film.
On the whole, while the score is noble and unsettling all on one, as it should be, the heavy string presence in the final two tracks leaves the listening experience as a bittersweet one.

Thirteen is a film to initiate a gap between parents and their teens and to exaggerate any existing gap by elevating "teen" and by presenting mom as trying to be a pal to Tracy and her acquaintances rather than a parent and never an authority figure.
Thirteen is replete with behaviors perfectly suited to imitation by already troubled and confused youth whose emotional fires are fanned every day in so many ways so many times in so much of popular entertainment.

 THIRTEEN DAYS movie review (with photos and clips where possible)
Thirteen Days is no vanity project for its star -- he's part of the ensemble of players in the Kennedy White House, admirably sharing the screen with the talented if lesser-known Bruce Greenwood (as John F. Kennedy) and Steven Culp (as Bobby Kennedy).
Thirteen Days is directed with intelligence and restraint by Roger Donaldson, working from a smart, seemingly well-researched screenplay by David Self.
Thirteen Days is a tribute to the moment when John F. Kennedy developed a legacy worth remembering, a moment in Washington when wisdom prevailed.

Thirteen (* * * *) is the most powerful of all recent wayward-youth sagas; indeed, it's tough to recall the last such drama that packed as much emotional clout.
And though the script feels assured and Hardwicke's visual style is provocative, this is an actor's show: Holly Hunter; Nikki Reed, who was 13 when she wrote the screenplay; and Evan Rachel Wood of TV's Once and Again, who gives a lead performance worthy of an Oscar nomination.
Thirteen, from Fox Searchlight, is the latest screen achievement from a smaller studio to prove that the major studios and worthwhile movies are virtually mutually exclusive until late in the year.

 Thirteen (2003): Reviews
The film is not without its share of awkward moments, but as an insightful critique of "Girl Culture" and the mounting war over the hearts and minds of adolescent girls that's currently being waged in the media, it's mandatory viewing.
Though thirteen too often mistakes hard realism for overheated spectacle, the heightened drama brings out the best in Wood and Hunter, who turn their climactic scene into an actors' workshop, charged with raw emotion.
If you boil Thirteen down to its flimsy bones, you'll find that it's not really so much about peer pressure in contemporary teen life as it is a story about a classic bad egg.

 Thirteen Review At DVDwolf.com
Thirteen however, was co-written by Nikki Reid (who also stars as Evie), so you have to assume that a lot of it is rooted in truth.
Although the two main characters come from homes that are far from ideal and it’s a sweeping generalization to say that all 13 year olds are climbing out their bedroom windows at night to go get high, it’s ignorant to think that it never happens either.
I would encourage any mother to see Thirteen, just for the fact that I believe there are a surprising number who don’t have the slightest idea what their daughters are doing when their backs are turned.

There's a tremendous buzz on "Thirteen," the kind of buzz that hums mightily in the ears of socially conscious adults like the after-ring of a Neil Young show.
"Thirteen" was itself co-written by a 13-year-old girl, Nikki Reed (she's now 15), who also plays a leading role in the picture.
Her co-writer is the movie's director, Catherine Hardwicke, a friend of Reed's; Hardwicke dated Reed's father for a time, and the two stayed close even after the breakup.

 Thirteen Days
Where "Thirteen Days" differs most from "Missiles of October" is, as expected, in the scope of the project.
It shows as the makers of "Thirteen Days" craft a recreation of the Cuban Missile Crisis that encompasses not only the political intrigue within the White House, it also depicts the events that took place as America girds itself for nuclear confrontation.
The meat of "Thirteen Days" is in the big picture, not the microcosm of family, though.

Director Catherine Hardwicke’s movie “Thirteen” is here to tell you “13 is the new18” and “junior high school is the new high school”.
When we meet Tracy she is like the old stereotype of a sensitive thirteen year old, hanging around with cute, non-assuming friends, writing poetry, wearing novelty socks and drawing smiley faces on her sneakers.
At the beginning of the school year, Tracy becomes fixated on Evie (Nikki Reed who co-wrote the screenplay with Catherine Hardwicke last year when she actually was thirteen).

 She's no Gidget. 'Thirteen' shows a girl's chilling, desperate search for popularity.
"Thirteen," about a seventh-grade Los Angeles girl whose hunger for popularity leads her into depravity, is an effective and memorable film that's disturbing in several distinct ways.
That's chilling enough, but what makes the world of "Thirteen" even more unsettling is the sense one gets that the most gifted students -- the most intelligent, ambitious and socially confident -- are the most susceptible to this siren song of glamour.
"Thirteen" is Reed's triumph, and yet our awareness of her triumph obviates her triumph, in that it undercuts our perception of the film as a cautionary tale.

 Painful adolescent odyssey 'Thirteen' is rooted in the real world
The opening scene of Catherine Hardwicke's "Thirteen" is a bracing slap in the face.
So dedicated to caring for the world, she misses the crisis at home and, ironically, enables her daughter's addiction to the thrill of sex, drugs and rebellion.
"Thirteen" is a message movie to be sure, a cautionary tale for the 21st-century youth, imbued with cultural authenticity, but despite the raw gut-punch of its direction, its power lies in compassion, not sensationalism.

"Thirteen" serves up true-to-life teenage angst and rebellion without forcing a hollow moral lesson on the audience.
A story of a Valley girl gone bad, the film energetically samples a couple of reliable standards: the classic juvenile delinquent movie that's as much a romp as a cautionary tale, and the emotionally damp after-school special about cross-generational confusion, then whips them into a frenzy.
"Thirteen" sticks to a similar outline — a couple of characters take a terrific emotional beating — but it's happily free of the usual cant where everyone takes responsibility while no one takes any blame.
