Excellent Oliver Stone movie well presented on this Blu Ray. Featured on this disc is the Director's Cut which runs at just under 3.5 hrs, so not a quick watch. However I find that the film holds your attention very well due to good writing, a superb cast and impressive editing. Extras include a full length director's commentary and a documentary on the conspiracy theories surrounding this case. Recommended.

JFK is one of those films that you can`t see just once. To absorb the complexity of the reams of information packed into such a "short" space of time, as well as appreciate the art of the filmmaker, you need to see it at least half a dozen times. Oliver Stone mixes fact and fiction, real and imaginary events and characters with such pannache that it`s sometimes very hard to distinguish between what is and is not true. But at least with this film it sturred up some strong emotions, aswell as reawakening people`s interest in the assassination, which ultimately resulted in thousands of previously classified documents related to the case being made public which can`t be a bad thing. Disappointingly there are no extras on the dvd which could have made it great, and I feel a missed opportunity by Oliver Stone, hence the 4 stars.

I was a very young student when JFK became president of the United States and though I was many thousands of miles away, like millions of others , I experienced a sense of despair when he was assassinated.
We had hoped for so much and suddenly it was all gone, brutally swept away in a seemingly senseless act.
Later, as the investigations ground on and the Warren commission ended in so much guff- despair turned to anger at the helplessness of ordinary people against the powerful forces that control society. I recall weeping then and as this film brought all that back so vivdly, I wept. again.
A wonderful film and a com[pelling testament to efforts of one man- Jim Garrison to discover the truth.

Oliver Stone's brilliantly written film about New Orleans District
Attorney Jim Garrison's investigation of JFK's assassination is
definitely one of the best Kevin Costner films. Right from the
enthralling opening, using some dramatic archive footage of one of the
most unexpected events the world has ever seen, it is obvious the
knowledge Stone has of the subject matter and just how much research
he has done. ... The other thing
which makes this film special is the outstanding cast list which
includes Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones, Joe Pesci, Kevin Bacon, Jack
Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Gary Oldman, Sissy Spacek, Donald Sutherland
and John Candy. Every character is played by an instantly recognisable
face and they give some great performances, particularly Joe Pesci as
David Ferrie and Tommy Lee Jones as Clay Shaw. Three hours in length
but never boring, Oliver Stone deserves much praise for the way he
handled the film and skillfully mixed many different filming
techniques to create a very impressive film. It's a great pity the
film didn't win more of the eight Oscars it was nominated for,
particularly Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.

-> review ONLY for US digibook release: ASIN: B001DJ7PNW

I bought the Blu-ray released by Warner in the US (release date: November 11th, 2008; feature run time (24fps): 3 25'49" = director's cut, incl. 5'30" credit roll; Region free) because I wasn't quite satisfied with the picture in the 2-disc DVD set and wanted a better version of this movie.
Although this BD is no match for let's say "La piscine" or "The Dark Knight" (both Warner), I'm happy with this BD. Picture quality may vary (as do film stocks/sources), but in my view the upgrade from DVD to BD was well worth it (as watched on 46" screen).

Film: 9/10
Picture quality: 8.5/10
Aspect ratio: 2.35:1 (orig.)
Run time 24fps: 3 25'49" (director's cut, incl. 5'30" credit roll)
Audio: GB (True HD); F
ST: GB;F
RC 0
Chapt.: 89
Extras:
- deleted scenes
- audio commentary O. Stone
- research update 29'
- booklet
- digibook

(THE FILM):JFK, Oliver Stone's powerful film about the shots heard round the world and the mystery that still surrounds them, is one of the most provocative movies of our time. In addition to its box office success, critical acclaim and awards, it played a major role in the national debate that led to the passage of the 1992 Assassination Materials Disclosure Act.
WHAT CAN I SAY:JFK IS A FILM THAT GET dealing with the actual assassination and the following cover up. Oliver Stone deals with this obvious hot potato with a even and gripping style, never directly pointing the finger, but giving the viewer the facts, and details in blistering, intelligent and head spinning fashion.Leading us to make our own conclusion to who was behind it. Kevin Costner has never been better as he carries out his investigation, but what really hits home is the actual footage of the fatal shooting, as you actually see the side of his head explode.
This is a long movie, but the running time is justified due to the onslaught of information given to the viewer. The film is fascinating, as it is shocking, and is one of the best films of the 90's.
The moment that news broke that Kennedy had got assassinated in Dallas.
you could say THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL
this film will take you to that day Where you will feel.every thing around you all confusion all the emotion and you will actually be in the middle of what really has happened?? JFK IS brilliant
This is more than a classic, this film cannot be ignored, or forgotten!
this film will stay in your ((Head)) as if you were ((THERE))
IT IS SIMPLY Unforgettable..!!!
