A very good movie

Honestly, it has been a while since I have seen this flick. I think it must have been 18-20 years ago (Oh dear, I feel old now...). Frankly, I didn't really care a lot at the time about this historical murder but since I grew wiser (at least, I hope so...), I thought I should re-watch it. Anyway, after 'Platoon', it is probably the most heralded picture directed by Oliver Stone and easily the most controversial one. Indeed, back in those days, Stone still had some balls, especially compared to the rather friendly 'W.' and above all compared to the terribly mushy 'World Trade Center'. Even if you put aside the controversial aspect of the subject, it still remain a fascinating and really entertaining flick. Plus, Oliver Stone had a great cast at this disposal (Kevin Costner, Jack Lemmon, Vincent D'Onofrio, Gary Oldman, Sissy Spacek, Joe Pesci, Walter Matthau, Tommy Lee Jones, John Candy, Kevin Bacon, Donald Sutherland, Martin Sheen). The greatest achievement, in my opinion, is that they managed to take a major page of history, shading some lights on these very dark times and also entertain the viewer at the same time. To conclude, it is a really good historical thriller, a classic and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
