JFK

What can I say - when Hollywood makes a good movie they make a film. The film captures you right away with its exposition - the editing, the writing and the meaning behind it. The cinematography adds the final touches completing the filmic experience. Everything matches the main idea - we are living in a prison blinded by the government. We know the plot, or we think that we do. It takes unexpected turns while it reveals more evidence of the coup-de-tat that took place on November 22, 1963. The editing is frantic at times but always engaging. The overhead hot lighting creates the claustrophobic environment of a prison cell, while the weird conspiracy characters take over. If you want to find the real meaning of the word "patriot' watch it and pay attention.
