I saw this movie when I was 15, and believed every word of its hysterical, conspiracy-theory nonsense.
Then I grew up.
Don't get me wrong--EXECUTIVE ACTION is effective nonsense, but it's still so much fuss and feathers, based on bad history and worse science.
Now that you know where I stand on the JFK assassination, please read the following:
I watched EA again last night and thought it was a humdinger of a small-budget piece of fiction. The documentarian feel is chilling, the principles are all grim and sickeningly sure of themselves, and, with the exception of the glaringly modern haircuts, the movie feels authentic.
Now, do yourself two favors--read Case Closed by Gerald Posner and watch the JFK conspiracy piece by ABC News first broadcast in November of 2003. You'll know what really happened and you'll have seen a pretty decent movie about what didn't happen.
