The hype is no joke

Rating: 8/10 (30 October 2018)

Good lord, the cast in this movie!
Daunting run-time notwithstanding, "JFK" is a work of consummate professionalism, from the camera work to the writing and direction. I'm not a history buff when it comes to the Kennedy assassination, so I couldn't tell you how accurate this is, but the important thing is that it *feels* accurate. It's a stroke of genius to make Kevin Costner's character the heart of this thing, and that draws you into a story that just keeps moving; and then it's just star-gazing, with one familiar face after another popping up. I don't know when I'll have the time set aside to watch this again, but I can tell you this: it doesn't feel long.
This is high-conspiracy at a dangerously entertaining level.
