Strictly average movie

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Straight-to-DVD isn't always the kiss of death for a film. Carl T. Evans not only directs, but plays David Secca, a police detective looking for a change of scenery and returns to New Jersey, where his father was once on the force. David and his wife Jennifer(Arija Barelkis)buys an old camera case at an antique shop. Inside the case is a piece of film that shows a lone man trying to conceal a rifle and standing on what looks like that infamous grassy knoll in Dallas. Secca begins taking time away from his small town mundane job in search of answers...does he actually have a piece of film that is part of a government conspiracy covering up the Kennedy assassination. Chris Noth plays a college professor that has actually written a book about the conspiracy theory , but is skeptical of Secca's claim of new evidence. The two original owners of the small piece of film, both died of strange circumstances. Secca's paranoia has him wondering if he and his wife now have targets on their backs. Also in the cast: Tony Lo Bianco, Barbara Barrie, Don Harvey, Vincent Curatola and Greg Connolly.

Looking at the other reviews about this film, I wonder if I saw the same picture they did. This is not a great movie, but it is certainly not as bad as some would have you believe. The technical aspects of this picture were top notch. There are some holes in the plot but overall this is a decent picture dealing with a compelling subject.I am always suspect of motive when a reviewer denigrates an Actor/writer/director and dismisses the picture as a "Vanity" film. Are they jealousy? There have been some truly wonderful "Vanity" films like Citizen Kane, Slingblade, One-Eyed Jacks....not that this is a wonderful film, but you never know how something is going to turn out until it's finished. I liked it. Kudos to Carl T. Evans for trying. Nobody sets out to make a bad film and this is NOT a bad picture. See it and make up your own mind.

This an engaging JFK assassination-related thriller that held my interest until the roughly edited and unbelievable final minutes. Mafia-related aspects fit one significant school of thinking on the assassination detailed in such books as CONTRACT ON America.CIA linkages implied are very plausible,fitting most conspiracy views and many students of the events might agree. Intriguing plot notion of finding information almost at random. Viewers of such films might consult Art Simon's DANGEROUS KNOWLEDGE for a survey of JFK assassination-related movies. Mostly good acting cast here is largely wasted. Individual inside CIA shown as behind plot seems completely unbelievable, especially given the time elapsed since 1963. A good cast of many familiar faces relevant to New Jersey setting (including a Sopranos cast member). Nice, low budget effort by writer/director/star. OK cable viewing that held this viewer's interest(though I am a long-time JFK assassination buff).

frame of mind is good. its a b movie but don't let that put you off. the acting has its ups and downs but i would say more ups. when i saw the plot description on IMDb i thought "god no not another kennedy film" well i got a pleasant surprise it had me interested the whole movie through, the idea is good and quiet possible and believable and for a subject matter that has been done time and time again i think it was a brave movie to attempt.i consider myself a harsh critic of bad quality b movies and very rarely comment on this site but i think this movie apart from some of the acting flaws and low budget, had a lot of heart...hope you enjoy.
