Killing Kennedy Audience Reviews

Wordiezett So much average
ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Desertman84 Killing Kennedy is a TV movie based on the book written by FOX analyst Bill O' Reilly that tells the story of the late President John F. Kennedy particularly his assassination and that of his alleged killer,Lee Harvey Oswald. The screenplay tells a parallel story about Kennedy and Oswald from the 1960 US Presidential elections until that fateful day of November 22,1963 when the President was assassinated at Dallas,Texas.Rob Lowe stars as the United States President John F. Kennedy together with Will Rothhaar,who portrays Oswald,Ginnifer Goodwin and Michelle Trachtenberg.The TV movie starts with John F.Kennedy preparing for his speech to announce his candidacy for President.He belongs a prominent family that has great plans for the male children.As for the other story,we get to see a young 20-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald renounce his US citizenship at the US embassy.He becomes disillusioned as a Marine and turned into becoming a Marxist. The story goes to show how both Kennedy and Oswald progress with the former from being a presidential candidate into being elected into the White House and the latter from being a member of the US marine into becoming a Marxist that started working as a Russian spy.It concludes with that fateful day in November when Oswald performed the assassination and when he was later shot by Jack Ruby three days later.Conspiracy theorists will definitely be disappointed since it is not the same as Oliver Stone's 1991 movie JFK as it shows Oswald being alone and definitely guilty in shooting Kennedy within three shots.There will be no additional knowledge about conspiracy for it just portrays what history has always thought Americans about what happened on that day as Oswald as the lone gunman.As far as the other parts of the story is concerned,it is definitely too short being a 95-minute film. If there is one reason to see it, I would suggest that the viewer will be treated to great acting particularly from Rob Lowe,who provided a spectacular performance as President Kennedy himself. That alone is enough to provide pure delight and entertainment.
ajmonroe44 I did not find this movie to be very engaging. Normally I enjoy historical films, but this one did not hold my attention very well. In many historical films, even though you may know how it is going to end, it can still captivate you and take you on a journey with the characters. All of the events portrayed happened very quickly, and did not give you enough time to learn much about the characters or to even see who is the hero and who is the villain, even though history has already told us. It was a short movie and might have been much more entertaining if it had been longer. It was all very intense because it did not have much time to build up, and there was not really anything that made it personal. The characters were not relatable. It was a very uninteresting movie for such an interesting topic.
Armand not conspiracy theories, not great revelations. only two stories and the link between them. a correct film, boring and disappointing for the fans of cool subject but, more important, a honest work. and this fact is important because , far of usual expectations, it is only a National Geographic exercise , part of a series who do not desires juggle with exotic hypothesis or conquest high rating/different public.this virtue - precision of details for each lead character. not analysis but only good points. a traditional history lesson. nothing more. so, a real good movie. if you do not ignore its basic purpose - to tell, in honest manner, a well - known story.
friolandia To learn about the truth I recommend the producers of this awful and goofy movie watching the documentaries from Nigel Turner, The Men Who Killed Kennedy (parts 1 to 9)and Oliver Stone's JFK.This movie ignores all facts pertaining to the conspiracy already acknowledged by the US supreme court, that came to the conclusion that there was a conspiracy involved in the assassination. The producers of this junk decided to openly ignore what everybody already knows because of the supreme court's findings after the Warren report.And please Hollywood, stop trying to fool us into believing the lone assassin bluff after 50 years!. We all know Oswald was a patsy and John and Robert Kennedy where killed by the evil empire.
