Cast: Jeff Bridges, John Huston, Anthony Perkins, Sterling Hayden, Eli Wallach
This baffling and disastrous conspiracy thriller uses the circumstances surrounding the JFK assassination as the outline for a story about a young man who receives new information that could help him to solve the killing of his brother, U.S. President. The film is destroyed by a timeline that doesn't make any sense, a protagonist who is as perceptive as Forrest Gump and casting choices that give away potentially surprising plot twists.
