John Chard on Executive Action

6.5/10 · Jan 21, 2014

A film for actors and those fascinated by theories of hidden agendas. David Miller directed Executive Action, with a screenplay crafted by Dalton Trumbo, Donald Freed, and Mark Lane. The cast includes Burt Lancaster, Robert Ryan, Will Geer, Gilbert Green, and John Anderson. Randy Edelman composed the music, and Robert Steadman handled the cinematography. The movie presents an alternative explanation to the Warren Commission’s findings that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The story centers on Lancaster and Ryan portraying secretive figures who plan JFK's demise on November 22nd, 1963. Much of the film involves dialogue, with the actors delivering their lines intensely while projecting a sense of deep thought; their reasons are explicitly detailed, Oswald’s role is depicted vividly, and it culminates in a scenario involving three shooters. The narrative then reveals what happened to several people who witnessed events on that day. It holds your attention but doesn't completely captivate you, though the performances from the actors make watching worthwhile. If you find yourself drawn to theories about the Kennedy assassination, this film offers additional enjoyment. 7/10
