5.0 out of 5 stars Oliver Stone's finest work, 21 Sep 2006

By	Mr. Tristan Martin (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

JFK, as if you didn't already know, concerns the story of real-life Louisana District Attorney Jim Garrison and his (ultimately unsuccessful) prosecution of Clay Shaw for conspiring in the murder of President John F. Kennedy.

Through an audacious technique of sound and image editing, combining different film stocks and overlapping dialogue, JFK is a powerful piece of cinema that deserves a place in everyone's collection. It is to director Oliver Stone's credit that he keeps the viewer continually engaged with the film through it's three hours and seventeen minutes running length.

The film is not only a significant technical achievement but supremely enjoyable on a purely cinematic level. The cast is uniformly excellent - a special nod of the head to Gary Oldman as Lee Harvey Oswald - and Robert Richardson's cinematography is, as always, gorgeous.

Due to the inflammatory subject matter (a U.S. covert action program designed to assassinate foreign leaders gets blown-back and turned on President Kennedy), this film and those associated with it have often come in for a lot of highly charged invective. Therefore, some background reading is highly recommended; if you only read one book on the Kennedy assassination, make it Oxford historian Anthony Summers' "Kennedy Conspiracy" for an in-depth and reasoned analysis.

In short, this is Oliver Stone's "J'accuse!" -not only one of the best films ever made but also one of the most important.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great - enjoyable and rewarding, 16 Mar 2007

By	Ben Vex (London, UK) - See all my reviews

I love this film. Not only is it a great story, but it really is a great piece of cinema. Every shot looks exquisite, the editing is amazing, the acting, lighting and script are top notch. There are very few films I enjoy at the actual time of watching them - 12 Angry Men is another. But watching this film, I really think to myself how much I am enjoying it, just becoming involved in the story whilst admiring the art and craft of the film at the same time. And like Schindlers List, the excellent craft of the film is held together by a brilliant human dynamic that gives the film a real spirit of its own.

5.0 out of 5 stars the nuts, 26 April 2006

By	J. Barker "Joana the Moana" (Leeds) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

it doesnt matter how many people tell you the facts are inaccurate becasue once you've seen this you'll know they know no more than you. Its a masterpiece in film editing. Personally i hate costner but he is very good as southern lawyer. Conspiracy films are always good and this one is convincing-it also makes you distrust/hate the US government even more than you already do.
