A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Jeremy Aspinall

In 1991, Oliver Stone's Oscar-winning drama JFK delved into the mystery surrounding the assassination of President John F Kennedy. Acclaimed by most, it was also attacked for its flights of factual fancy. Thirty years after the film's release, Stone returns to that dark time in American history with a fascinating documentary inspired by the 1998 report by the Assassination Records Review Board, which assessed the reams of evidence pertaining to the case. After setting the scene with stark news footage from the day of the killing, Stone looks at the "chain of custody" failures and inconsistencies related to the "magic bullet" theory, plus the links between the CIA and "lone killer" Lee Harvey Oswald. A roster of forensic experts, writers and board members offer credible analysis, and there's a telling contribution from Robert F Kennedy Jr, whose father was assassinated five years after the President. For the casual viewer, this dive into a mass of meticulous research may be too dense, but it's a potent addendum to Stone's magnificent 1991 opus.
