Goombah, I wanted to see that movie. I was young, but old enough to remember the tension of that time. Who played JFK, do you know?
TIS [/b][/quote]TIS I'm glad someone else knew the answer about the JFK actor. Nevertheless he was very good. I recommend that you rent it. I think that this movie was a victim of Costner being stuck in the middle of a bunch of poor roles prior to this movie, so I don't think it faired well at the box office. But it gives the viewer of a very real perspective of the obstacles the Kennedy's faced by the military. And if you're a conspiracy buff, it certainly leaves open the reasons why the CIA/military could have had Kennedy killed.
