Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2012)

The murder of President John F. Kennedy on November 22nd. 1963 was perhaps the greatest tragedy to have visited the United States of America. The question was asked of young and old alike, 'Where were you when you heard, They Just Shot President Kennedy?' There are many theories concerning the assassination of so beloved a popular president, but none that has truly satisfied the listening public. In this film called " J. F. K " director Oliver Stone attempts to explain the reason for Kennedy's death and the cover up which followed. With the use of great actors such as Kevin Costner, Jack Lemmon, Walter Mathau, Ed Asner, Joe Pesi, Tommy Lee Jones and a dozen others, Stone's monumental task is seen for what it is, A Classic Work of Art. It's true, the American public will never uncover the truth behind the actual killing, but this film does allow for a better understanding of who might have profited from the great man's death. Audiences across the nation are given the hidden agenda and the men responsible for their cowardly deed. This three hour movie explains in meticulous detail of how the assassination was carried out and how The Warren Report botched the investigation. There are many reasons why we will never know, but one thing remains true, those presidents who are not as popular or loved by the public as President Kennedy, need never fear the magic bullet. This movie becomes part of our history and a living legacy towards a final tribute to John F. Kennedy.
