Costner's character is completely unbelieveable. The character comes off as showing almost no respect for the presidency, instead the president appears to be practically a puppet in his hands. It reeks of vanity from Costner's side.
While there were three major sides involved - USA, Soviet Union and Cuba - even though Thirteen Days is 2.5 hours long the Soviet and the Cuban side of the story is never shown, the movie focuses exclusively on the US. What motivated the Soviet and Cuban leadership? How did they react during the crisis? Surely it would have been interesting to get a glimpse of that.
In the end Thirteen Days is part documentary - with the usual liberties taken with regard to the truth - and part propaganda. Quite silly considering that the cold war has been over for a long time now.

Shawshank Redemption is overrated. It's a decent, above average film, but by no means a great film.
The inmates are pretty much likeable, while the warden and his pet guard are monsters. Also as Freeman's character says: "You know that everybody in here's innocent?" As the story develops you feel like he is right, the only criminals are the ones guarding the prisoners.
This is a sentimental piece made to stir the emotions, but not to stir them too much. Just enough to make the viewer feel there is injustice in the world but that in the end everything ends well and justice surely comes to he who waits 20 years or so for it.
The Shawshank Redemption is, as I said, a decent film, possibly among the top five films of 1994. IMO the best films of 1994 are Pulp Fiction and Léon.

Heartbreak Ridge is a bad film. There are cliches stacked on cliches. The only depth I could find was how the elite unit was depicted as demoralized and slack. I took this to be a symbol of USA at the time. The films message would be that USA had allowed itself to go sloppy and now was the time to do something about it and resume it's journey along the path to predestined glory and of course world dominance.
This film has one quote that is so funny it is gut wrenching: "I guess we're not 0, 1 and 1 anymore" (reference to Vietnam and Korea). Was going to war with the small island of Grenada (population today: 93,000) a way to get even with the world for losing in Vietnam (and not winning in Korea)? Makes you wonder, doesn't it? :)
