Stone goes for the gut, but the complexity of theories surrounding the Kennedy assassination might have benefited from a cooler assessment.

The film's true power lies in its ability to entertain, fascinate, teach and absorb all in one sitting.

You'll pick it apart later, but while it's going, it's one great political thriller.

A powerful, personal exploration of a complicated and crucial period in American history. Whether or not Stone gets all of his facts right, he raises very important questions.

No melhor filme de sua carreira, Stone não apenas cria um thriller político brilhante como ainda prova, sem sombra de dúvidas, que a morte de JFK foi um golpe de Estado.

Thought-provoking and riveting, as both a poltical thriller and a partial problem solver.
