Oliver, Costner and Tommy Jones makes JFK one of the greatest politician crime movie in history...EVER !

I wouldn't like to talk much about this movie...if you really want to get know more about the assassination of JFK, then grab some money and watch this movie. If you're not a fan of political movies, then consider this movie as a crime, and for sure you will still love this masterpiece! I have been watching most of Costner and Oliver's movie, and i found that this is one the best movie of their's! There is no doubt that Oliver was nominated an Oscar for best director, but i had a doubt why Costner was not given an Oscar for best actor??? He has always been good in his movies and far much much more better than other actors such as Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves and others..why??? What about Tommy?? There's no answer to it..but you can judge it after watching JFK. To me, it is definitely correct that he should won best supporting actor in this movie! Bravo ! Overall..JFK definitely a classic! 10/10 (A++ * very recommended!)
