Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
2/4
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. Go to Full Review Vanessa Letts The Spectator 07/25/2018
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. Go to Full Review John A. Nesbit Old School Reviews 02/09/2008

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. Go to Full Review Rob Thomas Capital Times (Madison, WI) 05/11/2006
2/5
Ruby is a peripheral player in history, and the film can't change that. Go to Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion 12/21/2004

Steve D 09/11/2023 The acting is good the rest is a mess. See more 02/05/2012 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... See more 09/14/2009 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. See more 12/09/2007 I just don't see Aiello as this guy. See more 09/11/2007 Adds good background to the JFK story. Danny Aiello is a *very* convincing mobster too. Great film. See more 08/29/2007 Really boring biopic about a man who never was that interesting to begin with. (D+) See more Read all reviews
