star studded conspiracy epic

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2001)

JFK is a film that works because we have no idea about the truth behind John F Kennedy's assasination. The books say Lee harvey Oswald did it but is that the truth? Oliver Stone paints a canvas of all sorts of clues based on Jim Garrison's book. Kevin Costner plays Garrison before he started to not care about the movies he appears in. Costner and his investigation group look for many clues involving the other options which could have lead to Kennedy's death. They think it might have something to do with the Cuban Missle Crisis and that Lee Harvery Oswald was a scapegoat for the communist party. Before they could get answers out of Oswald, Jack Ruby kills him. The viewer is entangled with finding out the truth and we watch as Costner get pulled in, making himself distanced from his family. Go out and rent this movie. Many famous faces appear. ****
