JFK review Product Description
JFK movie was released Jan 04, 2011 by the Warner Home Video studio. Oliver Stone's powerful film about the shots heard round the world and the mystery enshrouding them is one of the most provocative movies of our time. Aside from its box-office success, critical acclaim and awards, it played a major role in the national debate leading to passage of the 1992 Assassination Materials Disclosure Act. Nominated for 8 Academy Awards® and winner of two.
Oliver Stone's self-proclaimed "countermyth," JFK mocks the doubtful veracity of the Warren Commission's findings on the Kennedy assassination and summarizes some of the myriad theories that have been proposed in its contest. Focusing on the investigation by New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) into the activities of the FBI and other government agencies as well as their attempted cover-ups, Stone weaves fact and speculation into a compelling argument for the reopening of the case files. Garrison begins to investigate local links to the assassination, including Clay Shaw (Tommy Lee Jones), David Ferrie (Joe Pesci), Guy Bannister (Ed Asner), Perry Russo (Kevin Bacon), and Lee Harvey Oswald (Gary Oldman). ...See Full Description

| Entertaining if you can pretend reality doesn't exist I am essentially in complete agreement with the previous reviewer. I don't believe for a moment that there was a conspiracy but I have to admit that this movie is entertaining if you can purge reality and common sense from your cranium. Once you've read "Case Closed" by Gerald Posner you will understand just how inane this movie is and just how imbecilic and delusional Oliver Stone's theories are. Other than that, this movie suffers from the wooden (let's say "petrified") acting of Kevin Costner. By brianp (Fremont, CA) This review is for a different format. |
| always curious very good movie. cleared up a lot of questions i could never ask anyone. By waltcooks (dallas, tx, usa)  This review is for a different format. |
| Oliver's political viewpoint shows through One of my biggest pet peeves is having to sit through a movie regarding someone else's political agenda. Though intriguing, this movie obviously was trying to show how terrible and secretive our government is. Way to go Oliver. Burn any flags lately? By a reviewer (Seattle, WA)  This review is for a different format. |
| Best film I have ever seen This is simply the best film I have ever seen. It is riveting, complex, intelligent and incredibly thought provoking. Oliver Stone is a genius. By thaliacole (Perth, Australia) This review is for a different format. |
| AS CLOSE TO THE TRUTH Thanks to Oliver Stone's JFK, voluminous amounts of records pertaining to JFK's assassination were released. Jim Garrison was on the right track,that's why the FBI made enormous attempts to discredit him,and that's why the CIA tried to subvert this film. This was a conspiracy and Oswald's role was that of a decoy. By infinata (Laval,Canada) This review is for a different format. |
