The Bystander Theory

Looks like some buddies piled-on to raise the rating of this incredibly rotten movie. Bad acting, bad writing, bad direction and no respect for the intelligence of the viewer. It's as though it was made by high school kids who have no sense of drama and mystery. The one star was an accident.

Zero Stars!!!

Every Hollywood cliche piled on a thin premise. Don't bother watching it even for free

Really good plot & actors. Kept our attention on this who-did-what-to-whom mystery. It was full of interesting twists & turns of suspects & clues.

I ran across this when browsing through the "you might also like..." movies list on Amazon Prime. Since I like historical movies, I can see why this popped up. I watched the trailer and decided to pass on it.

A few days later I decided "what the heck." and gave the movie a spin. I'm glad I did. The movie was produced out of the Austin Texas film community. It's definitely low budget, but I think they did a good job.

The main plot of the movie is related to whether or not a particular individual may have been involved in the assassination of JFK. There's a couple interesting, but minor subplots. I think it's worth that viewers stay all the way to the last 10 minutes of the movie, which for me made the whole experience worthwhile.

The movie is actually suitable for young teens and up. I don't think I heard any swear words, and while there is some 'violence," it's relatively mild. The film could actually be used to discuss as a family about how things are not always what they seem.

I think some of the reviews here are a little harsh. It is low budget, independent film. If you're looking for a 50 million dollar Hollywood film this aint it. Watching it through the correct lens it was fun snd entertaning. Good twist with the JFK assasination. The main cast were all good acrors for telling this story. Supporting actors more a mixed bag. If you appreciate low budget,independent film, and can avoid picking it apart like its a Hollywood release, this is a really fun movie. My wife and i come from a family of filmmakers. We found lots of reasons to enjoy this movie.
