The truth and nothing but the truth

Rating: Null/10 (17 August 2016)

Oliver Stone decided in 1991 to cover one of the most shocking and controversial subjects in America's history JFK's assassination.
What lead to all the wide spread criticism is that he dared to weave a web of top ranking officials, military personal and even Johnson in the cope to murder the president for special interests to invade Cuba.
Now I don't actually believe in any such belief, but the Warren commission statements and the zeppido film do raise hair raising questions that shouldn't be ignored out of ignorance.
I guess that's the reason I even decided to see it in the first place to see how it all could work out in different hypothetical situations.
Frank Garrison sets out to prove the American people are being mislead and will not step down from any shadowy figures or even his own bosses who wish to surpass the truth.
A few questions arose during my viewing that I think it should've tried to answer like if they are so powerful why not take out Frank or are they suggesting that they are responsible for every assassination in history?
Still Kevin Cosnar delivered a power house performance with passion and conviction uttered on every line. It even brought him to years in the final act to speak the words of a man who spent his life trying to solve the case.
The movie never set out to give conclusive answers, but it lets you chose your own fate: the CIA, a rogue government agent or a communist out for revenge. Its up to you to decide since no one really knows the truth anyway.
Even if your not a conspiracy but it's still one heck of a thriller and will grip you with it's rich story telling.
The way alternate history should always try to strive for.
