Account of the fictional assassination of the current U.S. president.
Apparently storytellers from all media are backing off from the novellistic paradigm for the narrative of fiction and, as of In Cold Blood, even non-fiction as well. Now even fiction must be told in a documentary form. I don't like this trend at all. As for this film's story, it doesn't hold its own; some wild assumptions are made which don't stick (military men from a long lineage of soldiers do not face death (and war) the way this film depicts; a president's schedule sheet doesn't simply leak to protesters like that) and are obviously contrivances to give the liberal-minded plot its thrust.
