2006 · 2h · R
Drama
Directed by
Emilio Estevez
In 1968 the lives of a retired doorman, hotel manager, lounge singer, busboy, beautician and others intersect in the wake of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.
Top critics, in their words
For all his good intentions, Mr. Estevez has reduced history to a bad melodrama in which nothing much happens until a crazed assassin (of whom we catch only a fleeting prior glimpse) supposedly destroys the last great hope of a liberal renaissance.
Ham-handed and TV-movie flat, it states the obvious, then states it again and again and again.
It's this disconnect between historical reality and dramatic indulgence that keeps an otherwise worthy film from being completely satisfying. There are moments, though, where even the most hardened cynic may have to wipe away tears of regret and loss.
Ultimately rises above its inadequacies; it's an earnest tribute to a time gone by, and to a symbol of hope.
It's a tin-eared movie, in many regards, history rewritten by that C-student who tries to jam too many footnotes into every character.
