JFK (1991)

A Disappointing Continuation

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

JFK from Oliver Stone is a well- executed conspiracy theory full of great performances and a nice setup of events leading up to one of the most unforgettable events in world history- the assassination of President John F Kennedy. Costner plays state attorney Garrison who has been given the arduous task of finding out who committed the heinous crime and how. The film is political and so the subject is a bit hard to sit through, but no one can question Stone's perspective or approach. This one will bring up hot debates and conspiracy theories.

I truly admire Oliver Stone gifted filmmaking, his service to our country, and insight into many issues. However, i believe he has simply lost his freaking mind with this movie. None of the portrayals represent the whole truth, because we do not know the truth. That is fine, whatever Oliver. But pandering to the lowest common denominator, i.e.,conspiracy theorists (I use that term loosely) that believe LBJ, the CIA, Castro and little green men from Mars were all behind the assassination. Costner's portrayal of Garrison 's emotion run the usual gamut from A to B. Would it kill the guy to maybe not look like he is always constipated? However, i took delight in the film's portrayal of that insane, evil, closet case J. Edgar Hoover. He looked positively ravishing in this film! So beautiful! Hoover, you entered the wrong profession - you could give RuPaul a run for his money!! sly old dog Hoover

Oliver Stone, the director of film JFK [1991] has done a great job. He has directed a movie, that truly deserves Oscar in direction too which stone didn't won. The Film won two Oscars in Academy Award (1992), one in editing (Joe Hutshing and Pietro Scalia) and one in best cinematography(Robert Richardson). This Is a mind blowing historic thriller film which you will want to watch it again and again after seen it in first time. Some scenes in this movies are so interesting and amazingly filmed that created goosebumps every time i watch it, specially the assassination scene [2:54:32 to 3:07:30] in 3h 21m Director's Cut. The main key points to watch JFK are:1. Cinematography: Robert Richardson is the cinematographer of JFK [1991]. The excellent art of photography and camera-work made this movie watchable again and again.2. Editing: The merging of various shots and soundtracks at the same time is the key point of this film that makes it more interesting after every scene.3. Soundtrack: The assassination scene demo at the beginning started with a goose bumping soundtrack that actually makes feel the conspiracy work. It is a great thing.4. Acting: Costner, Oldman, Pesci, Jones, bacon and Sutherland's's great acting lift up the movie to a great height.If you didn't watch it, PLEASE go... take a shower and watch it. I promise you will never be disappointed if you have interest in a thriller movie. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this movie. 10/10 (Please watch it in 201m Director's Cut on Blu Ray quality)

Director Oliver Stone does it again with another brilliant movie this time the conspiracy of who shot President JFK. The subject matter is already intense and fascinating, so many documentaries about the assassination. What you get with this movie is a mystery. So many people wanted JFK dead and this film brings it all to the fore. The political undertones to this film does have the effect of discouraging the non political to disengage. For those people this movie is boring. For those who appreciate a good mystery like myself the value of describing the participants in the cover up and the shoddy police work that occurred does a great service in showing us a real clear picture of 60's Texas. The drawback which is a feature of Stone's work is the preaching of the protagonist. Aside from that small aspect the film stands on its own as a great thriller. People are free to make up their mind as to whether or not JFK was indeed killed by an inside agent or a mercenary hired Oswald to take the hit. As an intellectual movie that serves to inform the public of the misdeeds of public officials i would say Oliver Stone has provided a valuable contribution to American democracy.
