I'm a 64 year-old male. I thought this movie was quite well-made. It's very suspenseful, and I think Ben Affleck did just fine. He's pretty damn good. Liev Schrieber did his usual great job, and what would we do without Morgan Freeman and John Cromwell, Alan Bates? Bruce McGill is in this thing, as are Ciarin Hinds, Philip Baker Hall, and Ron Rifkin, (from "Alias"). I thought the decision-making of the Soviet and American presidents, as they get ever closer to mutually assured destruction, was depicted quite well. And yes, the special effects were very good. Like the helicopter crashes. How do they do that stuff? Anyway, in real life, we don't need third-party bad guys to lure us into a needless war. We elect people who do that, and THEY bring in guys like Chalabi to help out. And, I don't know. I think some reviewers are just "too cool for school" and need to get out there and show us their own hit-movie-making talents.
