Frame of Mind (2009)
7/10
Intriguing idea; low production values
18 November 2010
Warning: Spoilers
This an engaging JFK assassination-related thriller that held my interest until the roughly edited and unbelievable final minutes. Mafia-related aspects fit one significant school of thinking on the assassination detailed in such books as CONTRACT ON America.CIA linkages implied are very plausible,fitting most conspiracy views and many students of the events might agree. Intriguing plot notion of finding information almost at random. Viewers of such films might consult Art Simon's DANGEROUS KNOWLEDGE for a survey of JFK assassination-related movies. Mostly good acting cast here is largely wasted. Individual inside CIA shown as behind plot seems completely unbelievable, especially given the time elapsed since 1963. A good cast of many familiar faces relevant to New Jersey setting (including a Sopranos cast member). Nice, low budget effort by writer/director/star. OK cable viewing that held this viewer's interest(though I am a long-time JFK assassination buff).
