it has been over 20 years since i saw the theatrical release of this movie, and i still remember some of the more exotic scenes as if i saw them yesterday...it is as confusing and convoluted as a "rockford files" script, but instead of solving a caper, it centers on political machinations, and conspiracy theories vaguely related to the j.f. Kennedy assassination.....if you enjoy dark, dark humor, a nothing is sacred mindset, and a story without answers to all its riddles, this is definitely worth watching....Jeff Bridges is both inquisitive and persistent as he investigates the assassination of his brother, the president of the U.S...Sterling Hayden, Elizabeth Taylor, Anthony Perkins and Ralph Meeker in over-the-top cameo roles add to the weirdness. This movie both mocks and embraces all the theories, assumptions and official explanations of who shot JFK. It is pure entertainment.
score 10/10
