JFK
The film shows a genuine and realistic look at President John F. Kennedy and his assassination in Dallas. This world documentary begins on November 22, 1963, the date of the assassination of the American president. Lee Harvey Oswald was the one who carried out the operation and was arrested for murdering the president, but was shot by Jack Robbie, who wanted to avenge the president's death. The case reveals that Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Robbie acted alone in their crimes, which resulted in the investigation, but Louisiana County Attorney Jim Garrison reveals other facts that seem more provocative.

It's damn entertaining and thought-provoking.

Despite the controversial and verbose nature of the material, not to mention lenghty running time, Oliver Stone's JFK is a riveting dramatizaition of various conspiracy theories regarding the Kennedy's assassination

an imperfect masterpiece

The film's insurmountable problem is the vast amount of material it fails to make coherent sense of.

JFK undeniably is well crafted and exhilarating. But it comes equipped with the biggest movie caveat emptor on record -- the historical context is Stone's and Stone's alone.

As speculation, JFK is riveting. As proof, it's bunk. Stone has turned what he considers the crime of the century into a disturbing anomaly -- a dishonest search for truth.

Sad to say, Oliver Stone's three hours of bombast did little to raise the level of discussion.

Even aside from what it's saying, and even with the many, many forced moments, JFK has a mad genius about it.

Stone goes for the gut, but the complexity of theories surrounding the Kennedy assassination might have benefited from a cooler assessment.

Costner may not resemble the real Garrison much ... but the actor, in a low-key but forceful performance, nicely conveys the requisite grit, curiosity and fearlessness.

While Stone has certainly stirred up the waters, with good conscience and, in JFK's own parlance, "with vigah," most people are likely to regard JFK as BS.
