Editorial Review:
Description:
The Mafia needed a patsy. The CIA needed a pawn. And the conspiracy needed a killer. They found it all in Jack Ruby, the Dallas strip club owner who murdered President Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, on live television. Stars Danny Aiello.

"Ruby" is John Mackenzie's answer to Oliver Stone's "JFK". Stone dealt with the Jim Garrison case while Mackenzie deals with Jack Ruby and his cohorts.
The movie has decent production values. I was expecting a low budget film. The movie even starts out with a film noir feel. You hear saxophone playing on a dimly lit street. A man is hanging from a hook from a gangland hit. This gives the movie a needed boost in the opening.
Danny Aiello plays that enigmatic assassin Jack ... Read More

When it comes to films re-telling the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, or involving characters snared in the events of that November weekend, one is always certain to navigate between fact and fiction, speculation and interpretation, and without a doubt, opinion and controversy. Regardless of where one's interpretation of the events in Dealey Plaza stands (I'm one of those minorities that thinks Oswald did it alone), however, the bulk of the movies that build the body of their plots around ...

Italian-American Danny Aiello gives
heartfelt performance, but those of
us who have done any research into
Jack Ruby, JFK, et, al know, he was
nowhere near like man portrayed in
here! And Aiello is about 6'2", 260

was about 5'8" and 185! Also, this
movie and publishers squib on back
cover make out like Oswald REALLY
DID kill JFK, which anybody knows
DIDN'T happen! Plus, there is no
such person ... Read More

since one-half of my lineage is undoubtedly related to Jack, I am curious about all things Rubenstein, and this just came on The Box so I'm cking it out...but I have a beef...why does Hollywood persist in casting non-Jewish actors as Jewish characters, esp. Danny Aiello (in this and at least one other, which title I dis-remember, it's about Jewish widows in Pittsburgh(?)) are there NO jewish actors available to do this schlock and who can bring to the role, at the very least, an authentic rendering of "schmuck" ...

There are spoilers in this review, but you should already know the historical details anyway.
"Ruby" isn't a good movie, but it *almost* was, and long stretches of the movie show us glimpses of the great movie it could have been. These portions of the movie are good enough to be worth owning the DVD for (especially if you enjoyed Oliver Stone's "JFK" for the look and feel of it rather than factual analysis).
The story takes what little is known about Ruby's shady life - that he was a burlesque ... Read More
