Muddled

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2000)

At times visually stunning, "JFK", is more often than not, a muddled mess. Characters are so broad and cartoon-like, that you will often laugh out loud. The plot is so preposterous, with everyone from the White House to the Louisiana gay underground involved in the conspiracy. People really can't keep their mouths shut for 10 minutes; but we are to believe that all these people were involved, and all of them kept quiet, all these years. Kevin Costner turns in one of his dull as watching paint dry performances. Sissy Spacek gives the only believable performance, and her character is totally useless. The whole film is so over-the-top, that whatever point Oliver Stone was trying to make, gets lost in the clutter. Not recommended!
