Nothing spectacular, but a solidly engrossing look at the events surrounding John F. Kennedy's assassination. Well written and directed by Peter Landesman, and performed with power and intensity by a large cast including Paul Giamatti, Ron Livingston, Zac Efron, Billy Bob Thornton, and a ton of more big names. It's effective and compelling while it lasts. 2.5/4

With the exception of a few gripping scenes, this film had no glue and did a disservice to a plot line which was aching to develop and flow, however left this viewer feeling empty, with the exception of stale popcorn. Although docudramas often struggle with character development, in this one it was non-existent. To add insult to injury, the nepotism imposed Colin Hanks' character made me wish I was on the operating table instead of Kennedy. …
