Executive Action (1973)
In his last film appearance Robert Ryan stars alongside Burt Lancaster in this quasi documentary thriller. A dramatization of how a conspiracy could have been behind the assassination of JFK.
This film is very much a “how it could have been done” rather than an effort to make accusations and it takes a fairly unemotional look at the subject matter. Drama and tension are marginalised for a more clinical approach and this does help give the film a more serious and realistic tone. While the film does not really look at any of the big questions that surround the assassination of JFK it is a decent watch.
3/5
