2. comes off clean...
Very good pacing, very good script and darn good directing. Reminds of "All the Presidents Men" in a lot of ways. Speaks well of the director, writer's and actors when a movie that is 75% exposition comes off as clean as that one did.

5. It was very long and started off slow, but
it was interesting b/c I've never really delved into the controversy surrounding the assassination.

6. I attended college in
Dallas, one of the first things I did was go and see the JFK memorial. The tour of the book depository is chilling, I literally had goose bumps being in there.

Anyway, I thought I would really enjoy the movie, but I ended up falling asleep in the theatre instead, Oh well.
