***SPOILERS*** Listless and boring movie about evidence uncovered that can finally put an end to the question that's been on the minds of millions of Americans since that fateful day in Dallas back on Novermber 22, 1963: Who Killed President Kennedy?
The movie has hot shot NYPD detective David Secca, Cral T. Evens, who's just been transferred to his boyhood home in Carlstadt NJ come across this strip of film form an antique jewelry box he brought for his wife Jenniffer, Arija Bareikns. The film shows the actual shooter making his getaway that day, November 22, 1963, in Dallas! Checking out who the box, as well as film, actually belongs to Det. Secca finds 85 year old Thelma Marshall, Barbara Barrie, at a local nursing home who at first is anything but interested in talking about the whole matter. It' only after Det. Secca tells her that he's a cop she changes her mind and opens up!
We get this whole story about how Thelma and her husband were at Deely Plaza in Dallas that fateful afternoon and shot the film of this person, later reviled as Chicago mobster "Lefty" Garbone, at the scene looking suspicious with a rifle sticking under his, even though it was sunny and clear that day, raincoat! Instead of leaving things where they were Det. Secca goes all out putting his as well as his wife's lives in danger to uncover the crime of the century. This leads to the usual suspects who pop up in almost every Kennedy conspiracy movie book and and magazine article: The Mafia CIA with the NSA thrown in for good measures.
The movie gets even more confusing-if that's possible-as it goes along with a number of the key witnesses, like Mrs. Marshall, dying under mysterious circumstances. Det. Secca himself is later kidnapped and almost beaten to death in, those who kidnapped him, trying to find out just what he knows about Kenndedy's alleged, on the strip of film, assassin. There's also Kenndey conspiracy writer Prof. Steve Lynde, Chris Noth, whom Det. Secca got in touch with who's anything but interested in helping him but, because of Det. Secca's constant persistence, grudgingly goes along with him. Later in the movie after being threatened, in an official collage letter he received, to be terminated from his job Lynde disappears from the movie altogether.
***SPOILERS*** The so-called surprise ending leaves you feeling down in that the man behind Kenndey's assassination-in the movie- is the guy you suspected from the very beginning! Slow and at times unbearably confusing film "Frame of Mind" never goes anywhere in it's feebly trying to put the finger on the person who shot Kennedy. There are a number of puzzling scenes in the move where the screen goes completely black, for up to as much as ten seconds, giving you the impression that it's finally over with the closing credits about to start rolling. Were put through the ringer with some dozen theories on who just was behind the JFK murder with non of them making any real sense at all!
