JFK X: Solving the Crime of the Century

There's a book theorizing that Aristotle Onassis killed JFK because he wanted his wife. I never thought I'd ever find anything more ridiculous. I was wrong. You have got to be kidding me. Maybe you are kidding me. Maybe it's all a joke. No interviews with the doctors, and I thought there were supposed to be interviews with doctors, emergency room doctors, who actually worked on Kennedy. It's all a bunch of goofy theorizing by some guy, very glib and and perfectly rehearsed, claiming the use of then-unknown technology, and I'm not talking about the technology of assassination. Also, he calls mobster Johnny Rosselli, Johnny Rossalini. In fact, he knows nothing about the mob.

I have a large collection of documentaries and dramas related to the JFK assassination. So, when I noticed this one on Amazon, I snapped it up without looking at the IMDB rating because I thought it was a new scholarly review of the case and the description mentioned an enhanced view of the Zapruder film. Wow was I wrong. I knew from the beginning of the film that I made a huge mistake. The narrator spoke in a dull monotone that will put you to sleep almost immediately. And he needlessly says, "John Fitzgerald Kennedy, otherwise known as JFK". Oh, as if anyone with more than three brain cells does not know that! The movie is complete amateur effort that could have done better by a child, rather than the buffoons who produced, wrote and directed this mess. Of course, I am feeling like a complete idiot for buying this dreck. Please do NOT follow my example and avoid this "documentary" at all costs!

Seemingly put together on free editing software, the makers present a laughable theory and have the cheek to end it "maybe we can finally put this all to bed."

For someone who has had to research enough information to put together a 90 minute documentary, I'm absolutely staggered that this is the conclusion he arrived at.

The narration sounds like it was recorded one sentence at a time and lacks a smooth consistency, instead always starting off on the same annoying high tone. Cheesy sample stock footage is cut randomly between 144p resolution images of events at the time. There's a guy stood against a white wall giving us his expertise as an absolute nobody, and has the audacity to question Oliver Stone's years of research that he and a film crew conducted.

Nothing in this feels coherent, plausible or faithful to what actually happened on 11/22/63, and it's highly unlikely that if you've done more than a days worth of research on JFK that this will teach you anything more.

I'm also surprised and concerned by how easy it now seems to be that anyone can spend a weekend slapping together 90 minutes of film and get to show it on Amazon Prime.

Pros: some use of new footage

Cons: narration difficult to listen to, extremely poor quality images and videos, new crackpot theory, everything feels like it was used because it was free - a budget of $0.

To quote an old farmer I worked for many years ago when I was a teenager, this "documentary" is as full of sh_t as a Christmas goose.

A wild, crazy mess of a theory that is closer to science fiction than a serious analysis of facts, this movie will probably appeal to the nut cases who always seem to think they are the only ones who "get it".

The build-up description of the movie promised new factual findings using modern technology that would finally reveal the truth about what happened on November 22, 1963. Instead, it presented a bizarre, convoluted bag of nonsense that will be rejected by anyone with more than three brain cells.

This is the worst documentary I've ever seen in my life. It's so convoluted It has absolutely no objective reporting or even investigation. It's about Buck 99 and I don't recommend it even for $0.10. It doesn't have any amount of witnesses or people that would have normally given any kind of contexts for all the different elements that are portrayed in the film itself.. there's one guy that's talking about the zapruder film and he totally doesn't know what he's talking about He's going over the same thing over and over again and without any quantitative sense. I don't see any thing that really clarifies whatever happened to JFK.
