JFK X: Solving the Crime of the Century

I have been intrigued by facts, theories and conspiracies about the assassination of John F. Kennedy for many years. I've viewed several documentaries, docudramas, and a couple of lectures, but this is definitely the biggest crock of steamed theories I have ever seen regarding this topic. I stopped watching after I invested 1:12:35 of my time. If I paid a penny more for the video rental, I would be considering pursuing a refund. However, a couple of the statements regarding the chain of custody of evidence were enlightening up to a point. But after seeing this, I still believe that something more like the conspiracy depicted in "Executive Action" is closer to the truth!

This is either a parody of conspiracy thinking or the people involved were given a pile of money to come up with something new regardless of how silly. It could well be that at the end there is a big reveal but I bailed out after wasting 70 minutes of my life.

I have seen previous documentaries say it was The Mob, the CIA, Cuban exiles, American Communists in support of Cuba, Castro, the Military Industrial complex, accidental shooting by his own security detail and so on but none of those match the sheer silliness of this one.

There is actually a good documentary to be made about conspiracy theories being valuable to nefarious people in power as the noise created by nonsense such as this is excellent cover for their activities.

Avoid this "documentary" like the plague.

Solved ? Ridiculous. SO many reasons it is just silly. The number of people to "go into hiding" and remain silent. So many outright lies and incredible stretching of facts ... Jackie married Onassis so SOON after JFK death (5 FIVE years after). JFK on Skorpios ... Then 5 years later she married. So many attended his body ... All saw a body double ? JD Tippett was NOT in any ways "identical" to JFK except the both had 2 eyes, a nose and a mouth. JD T was in the casket ... Um, what about JDT funeral ... Who was that in his casket ? Oswald killed nobody but JDT ... So Oswald worked in the Texas School Book Depository ... people DID see a white male with a rifle. JFK is shot in front of the TSBD and Oswald leaves work (did not kill JFK) goes home and then out for a stroll decides to shoot Tippett (the supposed body double) who later is in the JFK casket. The silliest and most STUPID claim is Jackie pulling a string so the "Hollywood" fake blood capsule explodes on his right side head.

Just plain NUTS QANON jibberish. Weidner is NOT a celebrated film maker but a typical outlandish "theory est" who made a slick and somewhat professional appearing (appearing if you are ignorant and ignorant of the details of the assassination) video that is just plain embarassingly ridiculous. A total SKIP watching.

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.

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!
