Despite flaws and simplicities, "JFK" is a must-see.

One of the most frenetically edited studio movies ever made, JFK is a paradox, a movie of unstoppable velocity that seems to drag on forever.

While Stone has certainly stirred up the waters, with good conscience and, in JFK's own parlance, "with vigah," most people are likely to regard JFK as BS.

It's propaganda all right, but it challenges, entertains and shocks us out of our complacency.
