I haven't yet decided whether Burger is exposing our paranoia or exploiting it, but if people are more inclined to believe him than the Warren Report, is that his fault?
Interview With the Assassin is a satisfying picture that like a pot of water on the stove keeps heating up until it explodes.
There are no big-name actors and no fancy camera work. But that's what makes it interesting.
This film offers a compelling scenario of what could have happened.
[Barry] gives Assassin a disquieting authority.
Begins as a promising meditation on one of America's most durable obsessions but winds up as a slender cinematic stunt.
it adds no substantial insights into the mind of an assassin
Rises above its modest production values and fairly simple idea by way of veteran character actor Raymond J. Barry's riveting performance.
Fascinating.
It could've been a great thriller, but not once does Burger create a believable moment.
As for the script, it wanders around in circles when it should be building a sense of paranoia and menace.
Barry convinces us he's a dangerous, secretly unhinged guy who could easily have killed a president because it made him feel powerful.
loved the concept....effective camera work and superior acting by Barry..this makes the film all the more believable and is a chilling variation on the JFK conspiracy
Super Reviewer
Intriguing enough mock doc about JFK's second shooter is propelled by performances.
