JFK is a true cinematic masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2007)

JFK, the movie, is cleverly made by Oliver Stone. With so many possible people, groups and or government agencies/ officials who wanted Kennedy dead, no wonder he was killed. With that in mind, it is nothing close to a miracle that this movie holds up right until the end. In all fairness, making a movie with such a difficult plot could (or maybe should) have resulted in a bomb. Instead it delivers a knock out punch. Costner does well as Jim Garrison the public prosecutor who goes after the real killers of JFK. All other characters, even the over the top ones, are perfectly in line with Costerners performance.
Anything related to JFK sparks controversy and this movie heats up the debate like no other. Whether you feel comfortable with the official story or with the dozen alternative theories does not really matter to still enjoy a magical performance by all artists involved, in front and behind the camera, in making this movie. Highly recommended, Zapruder film shows graphical violence and foul language is used throughout the movie.
