85/100 for JFK

Rating: 8/10 (21 September 2014)

Oliver Stone's JFK is filled with passion. From the very first scene it captivates and intrigues. For those who have lived through the time of the the murder of JFK is seems like another blatant propaganda movie. But for young viewers like myself, its brimming with interesting and thoughtful ideas. The key in watching JFK is to separate fact from fiction. But to label Oliver Stone's film propaganda is in incorrect. JFK simply presents an idea that is entirely plausible. The acting is superb. Kevin Costner delivers through just like he always does. And there are other terrific actors, notably Joe Pesci and Tommy Lee Jones. The movie moves along with rapid fire pace, it slows down in the middle, then delivers a hard hitting third act like no other. JFK is a stunning movie, however Oliver stone takes up liberties, rather than facts. 85/100.
