Frame of Mind

a disappointment
My husband and I both found this movie painfully slow and unconvincingly acted. We hung on, hoping that a good story could move it along, but the subplots (or what we thought might be subplots) went nowhere. I normally don't write reviews for Amazon, but I rely on them heavily. Therefore, when I saw that the only 2 reviews written for this item were so glowingly enthusiastic, I felt it my social responsibility to warn would-be customers. If you are curious about this movie, borrow it from the library, or even rent it - but please don't spend 17.99 for your own copy.

Horrible
One of the worst movies I have ever seen, it was so bad I'm actually writing a review and I have never done this before.

I don't know what movie the two people who gave it a 5 star rating were watching, but trust the 1 star people because this movie sucked.

The villains acted suitably villainous, both the gang members and the big fish behind the scene. Those who were frightened by the set-up were shown to be responding realistically. Some of the action scenes were abbreviated, not I think for lack of money, but because they evoked the appropriate responses without expanding upon them.
I was hesitant to indulge in yet another Kennedy Assassination after-effect. We had too much of that in all media in the years following the murder. The absence of a trial, the dramatic death of the...
