    O'Sullivan's propositions are compelling enough to make you think that the truth is still out there.

    Like a dog unleashed in a field full of rabbits, he chases one shard of “evidence” after another — a second gunman, a girl in a polka-dot dress --without bothering to arrange them in any coherent pattern.

    Shane O'Sullivan's RFK Must Die is more of a conspiracy-query doc, but will titillate the suspicious nonetheless.

    Wearing many hats in building his formidable case, the filmmaker as incidental lawyer and investigator deciphers the crime scene photos, and pegs known CIA assassins inexplicably loitering there, responsible for covert government murders around the world.

    It'll be an odd viewer who doesn't come to the end of the film wanting to know more about Kennedy or his untimely passing.
