I expected JFK. I got a dramedy.

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2007)

This movie was bad and good at the same time. I was expecting a movie like JFK that was a great political mystery/thriller directed by the great Oliver Stone that was based on a true story and was still able to give you thrills. But what I got was a surprisingly funny crime drama directed by the relatively known/unknown David fincher who brought us se7en. One of the greatest mysterious cop thrillers of all time. But none of the thrills that were in that were in this. I got a 3 hour-long dramedy that was based on a true story that could not provide you with any mystery or thrills. There was absolutely no mystery and barely any thrills as a matter of fact. It could not deliver the goods of a thriller because it already happened and people of the San Francisco Bay Area, like me, already know what happened and did not feel any thrills. But it was still good. A little long, but still good. I don't know what the point of it was, but it was still good.
