Casting change

Rating: Null/10 (30 October 2002)

In my opinion, this movie looks like it was rewritten after it was green-lit. I can't help but think that Kevin Costner was originally cast to play President Kennedy but somehow it was decided that he didn't fit the part and it was given to Bruce Greenwood. Therefore they had to boost the presence of Presidential Aide Kenny O'Donnell (Costner)even though Kennedy was the character holding the story's center of gravity. I thought this made the movie seem somewhat awkward and forced.
