The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

the holes of story. the nice potential. the decent acting. that are the characteristics of movie. not good, not bad. only an exercise on a delicate subject. maybe, the expectations are great but it is not really OK to be surprise because the great virtue is just measure. a common story about a big subject. the collision between high interest of a group and idealism of a young man. result - an interesting search of roots of affair. and Carl Evans does a nice role. not original but interesting, it is the kind of movie who do not gives answers. only suggest an almost realistic attitude about a significant secret. and that is all.

Straight-to-DVD isn't always the kiss of death for a film. Carl T. Evans not only directs, but plays David Secca, a police detective looking for a change of scenery and returns to New Jersey, where his father was once on the force. David and his wife Jennifer(Arija Barelkis)buys an old camera case at an antique shop. Inside the case is a piece of film that shows a lone man trying to conceal a rifle and standing on what looks like that infamous grassy knoll in Dallas. Secca begins taking time away from his small town mundane job in search of answers...does he actually have a piece of film that is part of a government conspiracy covering up the Kennedy assassination. Chris Noth plays a college professor that has actually written a book about the conspiracy theory , but is skeptical of Secca's claim of new evidence. The two original owners of the small piece of film, both died of strange circumstances. Secca's paranoia has him wondering if he and his wife now have targets on their backs. Also in the cast: Tony Lo Bianco, Barbara Barrie, Don Harvey, Vincent Curatola and Greg Connolly.

Looking at the other reviews about this film, I wonder if I saw the same picture they did. This is not a great movie, but it is certainly not as bad as some would have you believe. The technical aspects of this picture were top notch. There are some holes in the plot but overall this is a decent picture dealing with a compelling subject.I am always suspect of motive when a reviewer denigrates an Actor/writer/director and dismisses the picture as a "Vanity" film. Are they jealousy? There have been some truly wonderful "Vanity" films like Citizen Kane, Slingblade, One-Eyed Jacks....not that this is a wonderful film, but you never know how something is going to turn out until it's finished. I liked it. Kudos to Carl T. Evans for trying. Nobody sets out to make a bad film and this is NOT a bad picture. See it and make up your own mind.

***SPOILERS*** Listless and boring movie about evidence uncovered that can finally put an end to the question that's been on the minds of millions of Americans since that fateful day in Dallas back on Novermber 22, 1963: Who Killed President Kennedy?The movie has hot shot NYPD detective David Secca, Cral T. Evens, who's just been transferred to his boyhood home in Carlstadt NJ come across this strip of film form an antique jewelry box he brought for his wife Jenniffer, Arija Bareikns. The film shows the actual shooter making his getaway that day, November 22, 1963, in Dallas! Checking out who the box, as well as film, actually belongs to Det. Secca finds 85 year old Thelma Marshall, Barbara Barrie, at a local nursing home who at first is anything but interested in talking about the whole matter. It' only after Det. Secca tells her that he's a cop she changes her mind and opens up!We get this whole story about how Thelma and her husband were at Deely Plaza in Dallas that fateful afternoon and shot the film of this person, later reviled as Chicago mobster "Lefty" Garbone, at the scene looking suspicious with a rifle sticking under his, even though it was sunny and clear that day, raincoat! Instead of leaving things where they were Det. Secca goes all out putting his as well as his wife's lives in danger to uncover the crime of the century. This leads to the usual suspects who pop up in almost every Kennedy conspiracy movie book and and magazine article: The Mafia CIA with the NSA thrown in for good measures.The movie gets even more confusing-if that's possible-as it goes along with a number of the key witnesses, like Mrs. Marshall, dying under mysterious circumstances. Det. Secca himself is later kidnapped and almost beaten to death in, those who kidnapped him, trying to find out just what he knows about Kenndedy's alleged, on the strip of film, assassin. There's also Kenndey conspiracy writer Prof. Steve Lynde, Chris Noth, whom Det. Secca got in touch with who's anything but interested in helping him but, because of Det. Secca's constant persistence, grudgingly goes along with him. Later in the movie after being threatened, in an official collage letter he received, to be terminated from his job Lynde disappears from the movie altogether.***SPOILERS*** The so-called surprise ending leaves you feeling down in that the man behind Kenndey's assassination-in the movie- is the guy you suspected from the very beginning! Slow and at times unbearably confusing film "Frame of Mind" never goes anywhere in it's feebly trying to put the finger on the person who shot Kennedy. There are a number of puzzling scenes in the move where the screen goes completely black, for up to as much as ten seconds, giving you the impression that it's finally over with the closing credits about to start rolling. Were put through the ringer with some dozen theories on who just was behind the JFK murder with non of them making any real sense at all!
