Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
maineocto Despite the other reviews, I found the acting excellent, the plot engrossing, and the outcome sad but entirely appropriate. That said, I also believe that Lee Harvey Oswald spoke truthfully when, just before he too was assassinated he said, "I'm just a patsy."Although not necessarily disagreeing with the movie's suggestion of who the people actually responsible really were, I tend to find what Joel Belz has written more likely.If that's so, this country is in deep, deep trouble. Why? Because topmost-level American governmental secrecy continues to grow, and when evidence of deception appears, Congress doesn't seem to care.
Armand the holes of story. the nice potential. the decent acting. that are the characteristics of movie. not good, not bad. only an exercise on a delicate subject. maybe, the expectations are great but it is not really OK to be surprise because the great virtue is just measure. a common story about a big subject. the collision between high interest of a group and idealism of a young man. result - an interesting search of roots of affair. and Carl Evans does a nice role. not original but interesting, it is the kind of movie who do not gives answers. only suggest an almost realistic attitude about a significant secret. and that is all.
bignaco-1 Aside from a few OK performances, most of this film just kept me thinking, "how did this get made?".With all the great story ideas, amazing actors, directors, writers, etc. in the world, how could something so bland get A) financed and B) legit actors like Chris Noth and Barbara Barrie to act in it? Most of the other actors - I can understand taking part in something like this as I assume they really need a role in whatever they can get. To be fair, the acting is not the real problem though. Even Arija Bareikis, who is normally a decent enough actress, has the depth of an empty manila envelope in this thing. That's partly the script/character to blame, though. The main problems are that the casting is mostly wrong, (David Dinkins...really???), the sound is barely there (sound is essential to creating a mood in a film like this, guys!), the script, (seems like a first draft that no-one edited and it's waaaaay too expository), and the directing (was there a director on set?). Sorry to say that lead actor, Carl Evans, is to blame as he was at the helm - or so we are to assume from his credits.It seems like Eavans came into a load of cash and just blew it on this thing without planning it out correctly. So sad.
coffeeblack frame of mind is good. its a b movie but don't let that put you off. the acting has its ups and downs but i would say more ups. when i saw the plot description on IMDb i thought "god no not another kennedy film" well i got a pleasant surprise it had me interested the whole movie through, the idea is good and quiet possible and believable and for a subject matter that has been done time and time again i think it was a brave movie to attempt.i consider myself a harsh critic of bad quality b movies and very rarely comment on this site but i think this movie apart from some of the acting flaws and low budget, had a lot of heart...hope you enjoy.
