Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMost, if not all, of the dramatization supporting cast have also been the supporting cast in "I'm Not There," "Warm Bodies," "The Bone Collector," and "White House Down." This is because all of these films were shot in Canada.
- GoofsWhile multiple witnesses claimed to have seen the Secret Service Agent with a Machine Gun or Submachine Gun, it is later identified as an AR 15. The experts incorrectly referred to it as an Assault Rifle. Assault Rifles are a specific type of rifle capable of selection between single, automatic, or burst fire. The AR 15 is Semiautomatic which is one bullet fired for each pull of the trigger.
Featured review
Accidental? Don't buy it for a moment!
I watched the documentary JFK: THE SMOKING GUN and it was very disturbing. Yes, it was compelling and convincing that the bullet that explored JFK's head was from a different weapon other than the rifle LHO supposedly used. It was also very compelling that one of the secret agents in the car immediately following JFK fired that lethal shot. But to further say and conclude that the agent, George Hickey, did so "accidentally" is silly and an insult to normal intelligence. In that same show it was revealed that Robert Kennedy asked the agents, "Did you kill my brother?" Even RFK himself sensed this was an "inside" job.
McLaren's teary eyed and choking statement at the end that this really was a "tragic accident" was, to me, contrived and phony.
What was the premise and goal of this documentary? It only raised more questions than to put "closure" on the matter. If it attempted to shut out all conspiracy theories it failed. In fact it opened it up all the more.
One thing is obvious. If the project or action to assassinate JFK was to "kill" him, it blatantly failed. JFK is much more alive now than ever. That bullet in Dallas did not terminate him, on the contrary, it immortalized him, made him "eternal".
