We’re drawn into his world and his predicament when Christopher Walken strolls in as a shadowy American who claims to know Johnny. The encounter forces him into the company of some ambiguous American businessmen who claim to be on the islands for a conference on the global financial crisis. When one of them falls in the sea, their financial PR seems to know more than she's letting on.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

The JFK (1991) by Kevin Costner is more sensible than the other movies till now; because there is at least three shooters and five shots.Everybody knows that the invention of magic bullet story is just an unscientific explanation.As Kevin Costner says in dialog It was a programmed plan by the USA government of the time was executed by experienced and sophisticated shooters, not only by Oswald (or maybe he was a part of plan that told or untold so that's not matters).In the JFK we see that most of policemen and security forces are told of what will going to happen and what they must to do. By the way It's good to know that what are the effective factors have an influence on our thoughts and to persuade us how should we think about it.

I did not find this movie to be very engaging. Normally I enjoy historical films, but this one did not hold my attention very well. In many historical films, even though you may know how it is going to end, it can still captivate you and take you on a journey with the characters. All of the events portrayed happened very quickly, and did not give you enough time to learn much about the characters or to even see who is the hero and who is the villain, even though history has already told us. It was a short movie and might have been much more entertaining if it had been longer. It was all very intense because it did not have much time to build up, and there was not really anything that made it personal. The characters were not relatable. It was a very uninteresting movie for such an interesting topic.

It is a story where we know what would happen in the end, as the title speaks for itself. Much had been said and written what happened on that day in Dallas, Texas and what could have motivated Lee Harvey Oswald and whether he acted alone in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. But this television film deals with none of that, and only what the world actually knows took place on that day and the backstories of the two people at the heart of it in Oswald and the US President John F. Kennedy.Before their respective lives crossed with each other, Lee Harvey Oswald (Will Rothaar) has been a former US Marine who has grown disillusioned with his own country in the United States and John F. Kennedy (Rob Lowe) is a senator and a politician on the rise and his own political career took a dramatic turn after the assassination of his senator brother Robert (Jack Noseworthy) on the presidential campaign trail for the Democrat ticket for the 1960 presidential election. While Oswald would head for the Soviet Union and seek asylum there and becoming a defector in the process, Kennedy would eventually come to come up against the Republican candidate Richard Nixon and would win the election along with his vice-presidential candidate choice in Lyndon Johnson (Francis Guinan).After initially settling down in Russia, Oswald would move to Belarus where at a dance, he met his future wife Marina (Michelle Trachtenberg). The Oswalds would be on the move again after the birth of their child, and this time it is back to the United States after Oswald realised the Soviet Union was not what he had imagined to be. The young family would eventually end up in Dallas, Texas.Meanwhile, Kennedy would come to make a visit to Dallas, Texas as part of campaigning for a second term in the 1964 presidential election. This will be when the lives of both Kennedy and Oswald would come to cross with each other, and things will never be the same again for them and for the United States in the aftermath of what would come to take place.It is more than just what happened on that fateful day in Dallas, it is also what led up to it. It is also the story of how two people who are not related to each other would come to find their lives cross with each other in one day, and their respective spouses in Marina Oswald and Jacqueline Kennedy (Gennifer Goodwin). It is as poignant, as chilling, and as haunting it could be for a story to be told to a new generation.

An above reviewer wrote this...' I didn't know Oswald had shot at a retired Army General or murdered a policeman' ! ( or words to that effect)H didn't !! That's why propaganda tripe like this has to be outed for what it is. The rifle used to shoot at the General was a high powered one, not the 1941 rusty Italian job Oswald had. Further, Two eye witnesses to this shooting said they saw Two men running away, neither of which fitted Oswalds description. They got into separate cars and drove away. Oswald couldn't drive. The bullet recovered from the shooting could not possibly have been fired by Oswalds rifle.The murder of Officer Tippet.......at the time of his brutal murder Oswald was more than a mile away waiting on a bus, taking him in the opposite direction. The 4 rounds recovered at the scene of the murder ( and please remember, revolvers do not eject rounds), could not be matched to Oswalds revolver !That this awful portrayal of the facts can still be getting made, is a sad reflection on the screenwriters of Hollywood. Further....I thought, until now, Brave Heart was the biggest rewriting of history I had ever had the misfortune to witness. Sadly this debacle outdoes even that !Absolute dire fare. I only hope you do not believe all you see in films/movies !
