This movie is nearly 3 1/2 hours long but to me it felt like 2 hours. It's my 2nd favorite Kevin Costner movie after Field of Dreams. The movie gained controversy for who the movie pointed fingers at for the assassination of JFK. But it's a movie, for Pete's sake! Besides, it's decided that we will never know who did it.(Is that really a spoiler?) Like Beauty and the Beast, this is a 1991 nomination that earned Best Picture more than The Silence of the Lambs. Roger Ebert called it the best movie of the year and it was Gene Siskel's 7th. There is also numerous celebrities including Kevin Bacon, Joe Pesci(with blonde hair),Sissy Spacek, Gary Oldman, Tommy Lee Jones,Donald Sutherland, etc. Most of these are cameos. There is a lot to enjoy here, so go and do so!

JFK from Oliver Stone is a well- executed conspiracy theory full of great performances and a nice setup of events leading up to one of the most unforgettable events in world history- the assassination of President John F Kennedy. Costner plays state attorney Garrison who has been given the arduous task of finding out who committed the heinous crime and how. The film is political and so the subject is a bit hard to sit through, but no one can question Stone's perspective or approach. This one will bring up hot debates and conspiracy theories.

Oliver Stone is well known for his political filmmaking. Whatever your opinion of the American government, the assassination of John F Kennedy and the war lobbying, "JFK" is an fine example of great acting by Costner and impeccable screen writing, in a highly engaging movie. It is thrilling enough to keep you watching through the 189 minutes.
