5.0
A roller coaster of a ride. Great noir story of the Kennedys, Castro, Hughes, J E Hoover, Hoffa, the mob, and an assortment of low-lifes. If this is even close to the way things actually happened, well, I'm scarred. What a complicated picture of the crimes committed by the supposed good guys as well as the bad guys. No one in this tableau comes off well. Pageturner; history lesson.
