Customer Reviews of RFK
Delusional and Inaccurate I was hoping for much better from this production. But based on the fact that nobody else in the world has seen it, I should have known better. I thought the movie was so bad, I could not finish.
The writers have chosen to rewrite history in many ways. First, RFK apparently had schizophrenia because his reality was very distorted. JFK kept appearing to RFK throughout the movie. The most interesting thing is that RFK only speaks in a Massachusetts accent to his brother (or brother's illusion). As if distorting reality is not enough of a crime, the movie accuses Lyndon Johnson and the CIA of killing John Kennedy.
Read a book on this fallen Catholic leader. Do not rely on this travesty as a source.
A fair portrayal
I first caught this movie on FX when it premiered, and I hoped that more people will see it now that it's on DVD. The movie is concerned with Bobby Kennedy's evolution after his brother's death in 1963, and Linus Roache does a convincing job of playing the late man (He and the actor who played RFK in Thirteen Days are the two best I've seen at this difficult acting job). Being something of a RFK buff, I found this film moving and worth watching. In this time of politicians who cater to the lowest common denominator (on both sides of the aisle), we need to look back on men like Bobby Kennedy, who genuinely cared about the underdogs of American society and was killed in the midst of his greatest act of compassion. One of these days, people will recognize RFK as the best man who was never elected President. This movie is a good start for anyone wondering "what all the fuss was about". I recommend it
Pretty Good
This movie is about RFK's life without JFK. Mostly throughout his political career RFK did what was in the best interest of his brother and not himself. He played the cruel, conniving younger brother. However, after November 22, 1963, all that changed. He no longer had anyone to protect and now he had a chance to be himself. This film magnificently shows the "real" Bobby. Not ruthless and devious, but brave and honest. A man who "could get things done." It also shows a sad and tormented Bobby. A man so devestated by his brother's death that he sees visions of him, all the way up to his own assassination. Linus Roache and James Cromwell do a great job portraying RFK and LBJ respectively. Minor characters like Ethel and Ted Kennedy don't seem to be the Kennedys America's come to know, but overall the casting is good and so is the movie.
