Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I first caught this movie on FX when it premiered, and I hoped that more people will see it now that it's on DVD. The movie is concerned with Bobby Kennedy's evolution after his brother's death in 1963, and Linus Roache does a convincing job of playing the late man (He and the actor who played RFK in Thirteen Days are the two best I've seen at this difficult acting job). Being something of a RFK buff, I found this film moving and worth watching. In this time of politicians who cater to the lowest common denominator (on both sides of the aisle), we need to look back on men like Bobby Kennedy, who genuinely cared about the underdogs of American society and was killed in the midst of his greatest act of compassion. One of these days, people will recognize RFK as the best man who was never elected President. This movie is a good start for anyone wondering "what all the fuss was about". I recommend it

RFK focuses on the final five years of Robert F. Kennedy's life beginning with President John F. Kennedy's untimely death in 1963 to his own tragic death in 1968.From the transformation of the younger Kennedy as he moved out of the shadows of JFK to establish and define his own political persona. Golden Globe nominee Linus Roache (The Gathering Storm, Wings of the Dove, Hart's War) is riveting in his portrayal of the young Kennedy. Also starring James Cromwell (L.A. Confidential, The Green Mile) as Lyndon Johnson, David Paymer (State and Main), Martin Donovan (Insomnia), Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction, Mission Impossible). Written by Hank Steinberg (*61, Without A Trace) and Directed by Robert Dornhelm (Sins of the Father, Anne Frank).
