Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
lyndalu-45740 I was going to say this was the most ridiculous documentary I've ever seen but you can't call this show a documentary, its more like a comedy based on the most ridiculous assumptions. If you're looking for a good laugh, this is your show, if you are looking for unbiased truths, you won't find them here.
Russ Hog This movie deserves zero stars.It's poorly made - makes no sense - and almost none of the plot points connect at all. Basically some people knew some people and therefore Bush killed JKF!?!? ???Ever since JFK was killed - a great deal of Americans have wondered whether it was a lone gunman or a vast conspiracy. There is an entire industry based on this question.Perhaps it was the CIA and the military industrial complex - or hit men from the Italian mafia who felt betrayed by the Irish Kennedy's - or maybe LBJ - or maybe it was just one lone guy with a gun!I call tell you this - anyone who thinks this movie is true - that Bush has so much power he pulled all of these strings - is an idiot. It's trendy to link old man Bush was a master manipulator behind so much stuff - because Bush was powerful and his name shows up in a lot of places. I am sure Bush did some bad stuff - but be the man who killed JFK? Stupid.
Kenneth Dunning For many, if not most, Americans the material John Hankey presents challenges some of our most deeply held cultural beliefs. That can make the video very hard to watch for many. But that in and of itself does not render Mr. Hankey's hypotheses as false. Can our deeply held, culturally instilled, predispositions prevent us from accepting information, facts, when this information is uncomfortable and threatening to what may be our preexisting world view? Having experienced the national trauma that accompanied the JFK assassination and, along with many others, having the lingering, inescapable impression that the official explanations were blatantly evasive and incomplete, I am glad there are scholars such as Mr. Hankey still working on the matter.
#1 Movie Lover 'Dark Legacy' is a film that everyone interested in the Kennedy assassination and its circumstances should watch. It's on Netflix instant streaming, which greatly increases its accessibility.First of all, the film presented tons of pieces of evidence that prove JFK was probably murdered as the result of a conspiracy. It proves why the single-bullet theory is absolutely ridiculous. It uses government memos to prove the points it makes. Basically, it has more detail and convincing arguments than other works that try to do the same thing. The person who made the film claims that it proves the conspiracy's existence beyond a reasonable doubt. Maybe so.Unfortunately though, even the most casual of viewers could tell that this is a low-budget film. There's nothing wrong with low-budget films, but this one had a couple of spelling mistakes (i.e. "Napoleon" being spelled "Napolean," and lack of punctuation in a crucial sentence (i.e. at one point it says, "Hoover knew that the Bushs were Nazis"). This is not good for a documentary, because it lowers the credibility.Also, I couldn't help but notice that some of the facts presented were biased after doing some research. #1: Allen Dulles actually was not a Nazi sympathizer. #2: Saying that Bay of Pigs was done without any of JFK's approval or foreknowledge is kind of misleading. #3: JFK's head moves forward a little before going back and to the left.Parts of this film are eye-opening, and much of it is good film-making. However, it's obviously low-budget and some of it is kind of biased. I guess I'd say the good kind of outweighs the bad.
