A cameraman, Ron Kobeleski (Dylan Haggerty), finds out that his next-door neighbor, Walter Ohlinger (Raymond J. Barry), may be the much-fabled second gunman who assassinated President John F. Kennedy. At first, Kobeleski doubts the elderly man's story. But Ohlinger increasingly convinces the younger man that he was a pivotal player in one of the 20th century's most notorious crimes. Kobeleski eventually follows Ohlinger to Dallas and elsewhere, searching for the agent who trained him to kill.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader I haven't yet decided whether Burger is exposing our paranoia or exploiting it, but if people are more inclined to believe him than the Warren Report, is that his fault? Mar 30, 2009 Full Review Walter Dawkins Variety Interview With the Assassin is a satisfying picture that like a pot of water on the stove keeps heating up until it explodes. Jan 1, 2009 Full Review Desson Thomson Washington Post [Barry] gives Assassin a disquieting authority. Nov 22, 2002 Full Review John A. Nesbit Old School Reviews it adds no substantial insights into the mind of an assassin Rated: D+ Jan 2, 2012 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Rises above its modest production values and fairly simple idea by way of veteran character actor Raymond J. Barry's riveting performance. Rated: 3/4 Jan 29, 2009 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Fascinating. Rated: 4/5 Nov 2, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I would give it three stars but the ending real didn't work Loved the production values And raymond Barry was awesome Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member So I thought was a real documentary and thought it was so insane. It was pretty crazy. Turns out, not real lol. I feel silly. I knew it was too crazy to be true. Still decent. But I feel silly. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a really good movie kept me in suspense & extremely disturbing to watch. The way they shoot the film through the eyes of the interviewer makes it seem like the confession is to you. The danger that surpresses after the confession just leaves wondering if there is still people alive that really know what happened. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Very well done flick! Just kept getting better and better. One I will for sure go back and re-watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting fictional twist on the assassination of JFK. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member The Blair Witch version of JFK. It's a little crazy, but not entirely effective because the concept goes from convincing to implausible. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
