I sort of cringe when mainstream media says that Oswald acted alone. You know, because people are going to believe the Warren Commission then. And we all know what a steaming pile that was. We also all know who killed JFK...Allen Dulles. So, this hurt when I read it and it hurt even more when I watched it on the Hulu machine But I am also a King fan and he likes his build ups and those are always fun. I am disappointed it wasn't longer, I am disappointed some early chapters were cut entirely...but it was still a pleasure to watch. Franco did a great job in a serious role and got to follow him through King's wonderful twisting plot in a period that felt an lot like the era I've only ever studied. A disappointment is that it lacked a lot of the nostalgia for the bygone era that King filled the book with and made you feel, at times, that your father was telling the story to you and doing so without editing out the filth the times. You could see it, but you couldn't feel the fatherly love embedded in the book. All you got was the story itself. But, that story was entertaining and fun to watch.
