    Too familiar perhaps

    I always enjoy political dramas and/or political biopics. However, Kennedy is so much over exposed by his tragic end that any attempt to add or redefine this story is unlikely to succeed in any important way.

    So it is with this biopic: nothing new, nothing of much interest here and you end up thinking about how well the actor plays Kennedy and how much he looks like the assassinated handsome and apparently heroic President.

    Martin Sheen does reasonably well in this reverse reprise of President Josiah Bartlett (The West Wing).
