Controversy be damned...

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2002)

Little remains to be said about JFK at this point. Whether you agree or disagree with Stone's plot, the fact is JFK is a fascinating, masterful piece of film. A dense amount of material has been condensed into an engrossing and well-paced story (try reading the Jim Marrs book upon which the movie is partially based). The acting is first rate (yes, even Costner) with numerous small parts by well-known actors. From a technical point of view, JFK just may be the best-edited film ever. It is a classic. For an interesting double bill watch JFK followed by Platoon.
