exceptional

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2010)

i found this film about the assassination of John f. Kennedy and the aftermath to be riveting and compelling.it mixes historical fact with speculation and conjecture and paints an interesting picture of what might have transpired on that day and just who might have been involved,and how far reaching the conspiracy(if you believe there was one)goes.it doesn't give any definitive answers.it's up to the viewer to draw their own conclusions.the acting is stellar here from all concerned.my only real large complaint about the film is Joe Pesci's character.Pesci must have it written into every contract that his character must drop the f bomb at least every other word.i grew quickly irritated with it.it just wasn't necessary.aside from that,though,this is an exceptional film.even though it's close to 305 minutes,it doesn't feel like that at all.for me, JFK is a 9/10
