Mystery/Thriller JFK Conspiracy Thriller ‘Assassination’ | Jessica Chastain, Brendan Fraser, Bryan Cranston, Al Pacino

[Pennywise]

The film reveals a new take on the JFK conspiracy, centering around Dorothy Kilgallen (Chastain), one of the most famous voices in media at the time. When Dorothy suspects that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone, she uses her fame and influence to find the real killer of JFK. Part murder mystery, part film noir, Kilgallen’s journey will put her up against the CIA, Mafia bosses and the FBI, all who would love nothing more than to make her and this story disappear.

Is Oliver Stone directing this movie?

Is Oliver Stone directing this movie?

No it's Barry Levinson. And the Oliver Stone movie is terrible and grossly inaccurate to history.

Either way, this movie sounds like theorist-bait. There was no conspiracy, just some lone nut with a gun.

The conspiracy doesn't make any sense. If the government really wanted to kill JFK why would they need three separate assassination teams to kill a man who was literally a sitting duck, in a slow ass motorcade during a parade?

Its a well made movie but the script doesn't hold up in terms of history depiction or logic.
