JFK, Captain America, Salt, Shooter, The X-Files, The Twilight Zone, Bones, Red Dwarf, the Whitest Kids You Know, Marilyn Manson, and numerous other films, television programs, and even a Broadway musical tell us we’ll never really know what happened, and maybe we never will.

Secret soviet murder squads and diabolical doubles have always been part of JFK assassination lore, but this particular film plays up the concept with a sort of morose whimsy. The new spy yarn Salt, starring Angelina Jolie and helmed by Mace Neufeld, the director of Tom Clancy epics Clear and Present Danger and Patriot Games, puts a salty new spin on the Kennedy assassination.
