it adds no substantial insights into the mind of an assassin

| Original Score: D+ | Jan 2, 2012

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

Rises above its modest production values and fairly simple idea by way of veteran character actor Raymond J. Barry's riveting performance.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 29, 2009

Interview With the Assassin is a satisfying picture that like a pot of water on the stove keeps heating up until it explodes.

It could've been a great thriller, but not once does Burger create a believable moment.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 17, 2003

As for the script, it wanders around in circles when it should be building a sense of paranoia and menace.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 5, 2003

Barry convinces us he's a dangerous, secretly unhinged guy who could easily have killed a president because it made him feel powerful.

Full Review | Mar 28, 2003

There are no big-name actors and no fancy camera work. But that's what makes it interesting.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 13, 2003

Writer-director Burger imaginatively fans the embers of a dormant national grief and curiosity that has calcified into chronic cynicism and fear.

...best seen as speculative history, as much an exploration of the paranoid impulse as a creative sequel to the Warren Report.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jan 31, 2003

A Blair Witch-inspired mockumentary that, while based on a brilliant premise, is disappointingly bumpy nonetheless.

| Jan 12, 2003

Works because we're never sure if Ohlinger's on the level or merely a dying, delusional man trying to get into the history books before he croaks.

| Jan 8, 2003

...an impressive and challenging piece of work.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Dec 7, 2002

Whereas Oliver Stone's conspiracy thriller JFK was long, intricate, star-studded and visually flashy, Interview with the Assassin draws its considerable power from simplicity.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 2, 2002

Consistently interesting, often suspenseful, and endearingly silly.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Nov 26, 2002

This film offers a compelling scenario of what could have happened.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 26, 2002

For most of the distance the picture provides a satisfyingly unsettling ride into the dark places of our national psyche.

| Original Score: B | Nov 25, 2002

The film is worth seeing if only for Barry's excellent performance.
