13 Days

Remembering a forgotten decent film.  More from Armond White.  He's right about this bit:

So Thirteen Days is a little nostalgic; at least it hasn’t the sanctimony inherent in Traffic’s know-it-all, up-to-the-minute slickness. Critics have made a cause of the self-congratulatory Traffic. People won’t realize it until the fashion has passed, but Thirteen Days timelessly clarifies political behavior through the emotional investment made by private citizens such as Costner’s O’Donnell.

I re-watched Traffic a little while ago and it is a pretty terrible film. Basically on par with Savages.
