Viewing Notes
Interesting, fictionalized take on the JFK assassination. A part of the 1970’s genre of paranoid conspiracy thrillers, similar to THE PARALLAX VIEW, but with a very different vibe. This one is a little more tongue-in-cheek.
I wouldn’t say it’s a great film, but definitely worth watching, especially if you’re a JFK conspiracy enthusiast (which I sort of am!).
