Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: B+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Kathleen Maher Austin Chronicle Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times There are people who carry a certain aura, a strength of personality, a confidence, that lets you know they are sane and capable and can be trusted. The actor Danny Aiello is such a person.That makes him wrong to play Jack Ruby. Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Vanessa Letts The Spectator I have to admit that I was so completely in sympathy with Aiello right from the start that I paid no attention to the moral and aesthetic shortcomings of the film as a whole. Jul 25, 2018 Full Review John A. Nesbit Old School Reviews Rated: 2/5 Feb 9, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Amorphous and rambling, Rudy, about Kennedy's assassin, is no good, but it also has the misfortune of being released after Oliver Stone's JFK. Rated: C Dec 24, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D The acting is good the rest is a mess. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review Audience Member i'm not a conspiracy person really but one of the things that's always bothered me about the jfk assassination is jack ruby - who was he and why did he kill oswald? so i thought i'd give this film a try. sadly it's a largely incoherent mess... and aiello seems to be as lost as we are to what's going on and why... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member They need to stop fictionalizing parts of movies about the assassination of J.F.K. because it helps to discredit the legitimate claim that there was a conspiracy. That being said, this was a good movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member I just don't see Aiello as this guy. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Adds good background to the JFK story. Danny Aiello is a *very* convincing mobster too. Great film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Really boring biopic about a man who never was that interesting to begin with. (D+) Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
