I do love historical dramas and "Parkland" is no exception. Although it took me a while to decide to watch it since I expect that a movie such as this one requires my undivided attention and nothing less especially if the movie entails plenty of dialogue.
The movie is composed of an ensemble cast and the premise itself gives something new by focusing on the people that are directly involved in the historical event. The cinematography reminds me a lot of a Paul Greengrass movie (i.e. Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum). For those who aren't aware, the camera work is basically quite shaky. The purpose of the director might be to give the movie a certain rawness to make it look more realistic and believable which surprisingly he did.
Since the movie have different angles to tackle, I am fairly surprised that the movie does not seem cramped and congested. I have to give props to the editor because the movie maintained its fluidity and the audience's interest the whole time. All of the actors were great in their respective characters especially James Badge Dale who played Lee Harvey Oswald's brother.
This movie may not be for everyone but for those who loves movies with plenty of substance, history, great acting and story, then this is for you.
Rating: 10/10
