with an absolutely amazing cast and crew and this might have be a classic . instead it be a repetitive paraphrasing of all the conspiracy theory extant in 1979 about the jfk assassination graft and rather pointlessly and on to a vaguely incoherent plot about the murder of fictitious president kegan in 1960. many superb character actor be waste a they be either not give enough to do sterling hayden or eli wallach and for instance and or they be ask to go rather luridly over the top john huston . jeff bridge and anthony perkins do manage to acquit themselves very well and in their very different way and though . the photography be gorgeous and but do not justify an hour and a half of your life and or the price of the dvd purchase .
