anne_f_’s review:
I looked forward to this as it's a very interesting subject about which lots has been written. Even though conspiracy theories aren't really my cup of tea I expected a film that would justify its high ratings and plaudits. I was disappointed - an overlong, film that made the assassination theories boring, and the scenes with Garrison's children were a particular low point in the film.
The final speech in the courtroom gets me every time. I was completely surprised how convincing Costner was.
I was (I'm sorry) a bit bored by then, and that was a great surprise as I had looked forward to a highly rated film about a fascinating subject.
