Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Russ Hog This movie deserves zero stars.It's poorly made - makes no sense - and almost none of the plot points connect at all. Basically some people knew some people and therefore Bush killed JKF!?!? ???Ever since JFK was killed - a great deal of Americans have wondered whether it was a lone gunman or a vast conspiracy. There is an entire industry based on this question.Perhaps it was the CIA and the military industrial complex - or hit men from the Italian mafia who felt betrayed by the Irish Kennedy's - or maybe LBJ - or maybe it was just one lone guy with a gun!I call tell you this - anyone who thinks this movie is true - that Bush has so much power he pulled all of these strings - is an idiot. It's trendy to link old man Bush was a master manipulator behind so much stuff - because Bush was powerful and his name shows up in a lot of places. I am sure Bush did some bad stuff - but be the man who killed JFK? Stupid.
Kenneth Dunning For many, if not most, Americans the material John Hankey presents challenges some of our most deeply held cultural beliefs. That can make the video very hard to watch for many. But that in and of itself does not render Mr. Hankey's hypotheses as false. Can our deeply held, culturally instilled, predispositions prevent us from accepting information, facts, when this information is uncomfortable and threatening to what may be our preexisting world view? Having experienced the national trauma that accompanied the JFK assassination and, along with many others, having the lingering, inescapable impression that the official explanations were blatantly evasive and incomplete, I am glad there are scholars such as Mr. Hankey still working on the matter.
Tcarts76 This is a film that will have all the tin foil hat crowd all up in arms. It's proof that stupid has no bounds. I always have to laugh at conspiracy theories that idiots come up with to hate Bush. People that were born before the end of the cold war have been buying this stupidity for years. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, plain and simple. He was a mentally unstable. He was the kind of communist that communists would run from. If you ever see some of the forensic evidence and recreations.The "magic bullet" reacted just like most bullets do with that rifle. One shot took out an electrical cable. The car was a parade car so Kennedy was elevate. All reputable forensic investigations say the Warren Commission got it right. Please stop believing in magical unicorns. This film is best watched by people that need a good laugh. As far as Bush goes, idiots come up with theories of some evil plot because they are to stupid to think for themselves and look at reality. The real problem with Bush the elder was that he didn't get a second term. The whole "New World Order" and "Shining light on the hill" wasn't some corporate conspiracy. The fact is that the guy ran the CIA before being Vice President. His term came when the Cold War ended. This "new world order" conspiracy is bunk and what he was really saying is that we did business with and backed some really bad people to keep us safe. Now that the Soviet Union was out of the game, we could start to make things right, and better for everyone. That is why he went after Noriega and Saddam. CNN and Ted Turner, big anti-war nut jobs cause Saddam to be left in place. Had that not been the case, the world would be a much better place.
TahoeEast Dark Legacy had been in my Netflix queue for sometime. It was one of those films that looked interesting but I just never got around to it. I finally did and I am glad I did insomuch as now it can be out of my queue. Forever. Director/writer/producer/conspiracy theorist John Hankey deserves credit for taking the initiative to produce a feature length, low budget documentary on the JFK assassination. He correctly states that several polls have shown a large number of Americans doubt the government's story on what happened that fateful day in Dallas back in 1963. Hankey does a very good job of stepping the viewer through the events of the day and in particular, raises several good points about the chain of custody of the President's body and if it was somehow disturbed between Parkland and Bethesda hospitals. Had Hankey stopped there he would have had a good, 20-30 minute YouTube video. Instead, he spent the remainder of his time on this nonsensical attempt to link the assassination to George H.W. Bush. His favorite graphic being pictures of Bush's father, Prescott, Bush the father and George W. wearing swastika armbands. Everything Hankey touches goes back to a Republican conspiracy. Whether it is JFK, his son John F. Kennedy Jr.'s untimely death, or even Mitt Romney. Hankey has a built in conspiracy that involves the Bush family and assorted others in the so-called Illuminati. For me personally, it is a disappointing mess of a film because I do think there is some level of conspiracy in government and in particular, a concerted effort to create enemies and promote war for the sake of the military industrial complex. If Hankey could focus on those issues, he could be considered a serious filmmaker. Unfortunately, this first stab at a feature film discredits him as a documentary filmmaker and leaves him viewed by most as another misguided partisan.
