Rating: Summary: Great Historical Fiction Drama Review: Judging by the reviews, it would seem many people have fiction and historical reality confused. This is a work of historical fiction. The best fiction is based on real events. Walter Ohlinger is just a character and this movie, though filmed to look like it's a documentary, is really just a story written and directed by Neil Burger. Burger was in Texas interviewing WW II vets when he met a man in a bar who claimed that he knew people involved in the Kennedy assassination. They conversed briefly and then the man left. Neil never saw him again; but this eerie conversation served as the backdrop for this story.Walter Ohlinger (Raymond Barry), an ex-marine forced recon sniper, comes forward nearly forty years after JFK's assassination to claim that he was the Grassy Knoll assassin. He's dying of cancer and is tired of hiding. He enlists his neighbor Ron Kobeleski (Dylan Haggerty), a cameraman for KXBC News to film his confession. When Ron asks Walter for proof, he produces the shell casing for the single shot he fired from the knoll. Ron asks the lab tech to find out what year the bullet was fired and the tech comes back with a plus or minus five-year answer. This was the only problem I saw in the film. The lab can't tell exactly when a bullet was fired even within a five-year range. Ammunition can be traced according to lot number and the date of manufacture can be found but that doesn't mean that bullet was fired within that five-year timeframe. The technique of making this film look like a documentary was a smashing success adding realism to the story that would not have otherwise been there had they filmed it like a regular movie with music and canned sound effects. If you're a Kennedy buff, see the film!
Rating: Summary: Gave me goosebumps... Review: Sure, this movie may be sort of "cliche", but it does really open up the mind about what really happened surrounding rhe assassination of JFK. Even if you believe that there was only one shooter, I highly recommend watching this movie and it may open up your eyes a little more.
Rating: Summary: This movie will keep you guessing all the way til the end Review: This movie, "Interview with the assassin", is a very well done independant film. It is a story about how a man meets, by sheer coincidence, the Gunman that was on the Grassy Knoll when JFK was killed. If you are a JFK assassination researcher, this is a must see movie! In fact some scenes in this movie were actually filmed on the Grassy Knoll itself! This movie depicts the weirdness that seems to come when the JFK murder is discussed. How some people get so obsessed with the case is demonstrated perfectly in this movie also. Now, I wont give away the ending. But I will tell you this.......This movie is well worth adding to your collection, even if you're not an avid researcher into the Kennedy murder. This DVD has some great special features, such as commentary from the man who created the movie, as well as a VERY interesting piece of information about the many people that died mysteriously in connection with the JFK assassination conspiracy. I recommend it highly!

Rating: Summary: NICE THEORY Review: Well done, well researched, and well made.
To the casual viewer one might be lead to believe that this was an actual documentary, that is how well this film was made.
From beggining to end you find yourself deeply involved in the conspiracy that is unfolding and in this process you learn a few things as well such as names, places, theories, and most importantly, that the cover-up is still going on.
If you are doing any research on JFK and the events surrounding his mysterious death you will find this film interesting and informative.
