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...

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.

Adds good background to the JFK story. Danny Aiello is a *very* convincing mobster too. Great film.

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

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.

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.
