A film about the normal characters who got embroiled in the Kennedy Assassination due to being there when it happened sound boring but is anything but. This low budget film shot very creatively to recreate events conveys very accurately what it must have been like. From Zapruder with his love of movie cameras capturing the whole event to the hospital staff at Parkland (from which the film derives its title) where Kennedy's near death body was transported followed a few days later by Lee Harvey Oswald after he was shot and treated by the same medical staff, the fast shot action does not falter with its attention to detail. Most fascinating aspect for me was the existence of Lee Harvey's brother (played amazingly by Ron Livingston) who worked in Dallas and gets caught up in events about whom I had never heard before seeing the film. A film which makes the earlier Oliver Stone film on the same event now look very bloated and insensitive!Read full review

More informing than entertaining, an interesting look at a well known event from a different point of view. Anthony R

A great movie - am fascinated by the case of JFK, so couldn’t wait to see it again, to which I’m delighted it was just as engaging and enjoyable as when I saw it at the cinema. The whole cast is wonderful, portraying the characters very convincingly! Highly recommended!
