Killing Kennedy

Drama documentary based on Bill O'Reilly's and Martin Dugard's 2012 non-fiction book "Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot". It follows the parallel lives of John F. Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald from the winter 1959-1960 to those fatal days in Dallas in November 1963, when they both died within two days after each other and were buried on the same day - John F. Kennedy in a state funeral in Washington D.C., broadcast live both to Europe and the Pacific, while Oswald was buried in Forth Worth at a small funeral where the attending reporters were asked to act as pallbearers.
This movie has a serious casting problem. Will Rothhaar isn't nearly as engaging as Oswald, and can't act to save his own life. It lacks experience, and his performance is unidimentional, at best. The rest of the cast is great, but Rothhaar weights down the play, making Oswald sound like a spoiled whinning brat, instead of a troubled, deeply conflicted person.
