Additional InformationThe November 22, 1963, assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy shocked the nation and the world. The brisk investigation of that murder conducted under the guidance of Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren distressed many observers, even though subsequent careful investigations have been unable to find much fault with the conclusions his commission drew, the central one of which was that the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, acted alone. Instead of satisfying the public, one result of the Warren Commission Report was that an unimaginable number of plausible conspiracy theories were bruited about, and these have supported a sizeable publishing mini-industry ever since. In making this movie, director Oliver Stone had his pick of supposed or real investigative flaws to draw from and has constructed what some reviewers felt was one of the most compelling (and controversial) political detective thrillers ever to emerge from American cinema. Long before filming was completed, Stone was fending off heated accusations of artistic and historical irresponsibility, and these only intensified after the film was released. In the story, New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) is convinced that there are some big flaws in the investigation of Oswald (Gary Oldman), and he sets out to recreate the events leading up to the assassination. Along the way, he stumbles across evidence that a great many people had reason to want to see the president killed, and he is convinced that some of them worked in concert to frame Oswald as the killer. Among the suspects are Lyndon Baines Johnson (the next president), the CIA, J. Edgar Hoover, and the Mafia. Over the course of gathering what he believes to be evidence of a conspiracy, Garrison unveils some of the grittier aspects of New Orleans society, focusing on the shady activities of local businessman Clay Shaw (Tommy Lee Jones). Garrison's investigations culminate in his conducting a show trial that he knows he will lose and which he is sure will ruin his career in order to get his evidence into the public record where it can't be buried again.

  • JFK - Extended Edition

    I can't recommend this film highly enough. I have been interested in the whole Kennedy conspiracy since I was a teenager many years ago and saw a really interesting documentary on the subject. There have been numerous films and books, most of which are just rubbish propaganda, but this film in my mind puts the true facts together beautifully. I'm a massive fan of Oliver Stone - he has a unique way of making you feel you're IN his films. This is a long film and may need a couple of viewings to fully understand, but well worth the time spent watching.

  • Fascinating stuff

    I enjoyed this dvd especially the director’s commentary and the extras including deleted scenes. I would have liked some more jfk documentaries in the extras and therefore gave it 4 stars instead of 5

  • A STONE CLASSIC

    the best ever assassination film so far ! gets to the centre of the plot but goes a bit light on the fact that LBJ was the most important player along with friends Hoover, Big Oil , various other interested parties. The film is great just as a film as well.
