Oliver Stone's conspiracy docudrama twists together fact and fiction, and while that's certain to polarize those who want factual cinema, more open-minded viewers will be fascinated by the film's profound interest with the Kennedy assassination.

After watching this movie I really change my opinion on Oswald for not killing John F. Kennedy yeah maybe he did do it but in the movie they showed really good and clever facts of what happen on that day. John F. Kennedy's assassination is on you tube and it is shocking, but in the movie they showed you an actually clip of he's death and this movie came out in 1991 and they was no you tube back then. the acting is brilliant with out no words and Kevin Costner shows that he is a great actor in this movie.

"JFK" was another well-done movie, but the book was far better.

Oliver Stone has always been a master of the conspiracy theories and this is his conspiratorial masterpiece. He weaves a collection of characters and ambiguous plot points together to craft an intriguing, albeit probably false, explanation for the JFK assassination. Costner blends into the background next to more bombastic portrayals from Pesci, Oldman, and Bacon.

An appetizing brew of both fact and fallacy, Oliver Stone's 'JFK' is a landmark amongst paranoid political conspiracy thrillers. Clearly channeling Costa-Gavras' 'Z' in both editing and structure, the film is more a testament to the great subjective power of filmmaking and its potential to instill great catharsis within the individual viewer than it is a sincere exposé of the American government. However, that shouldn't matter, because when it comes to history, you really shouldn't be getting your facts from films. Note: Director's Cut recommended over original theatrical release.

Purely as a movie it's not that bad. But, it's more than just a movie, unfortunately. It is fodder for stupid and distracting conspiracy theories.

JFK is a film that is as inaccurate as they come but hey it is entertaining in its absurdity.

A very interesting look at the JFK case. I like this movie because it shows how confusing the case really was to the DA just a short time after it happened. Think how confusing it is is now. It also opened up more facts to the real case.
