I thought that someone was finally going to tell the story behind this murderous event, but that never materialized.
Little was said about Mary Jo Kopeckne, the kind of person she was, or how she wound up dead in the car of a powerful Kennedy playboy, and how he got away with it. His story was implausible from the beginning and his actions clearly showed an attempt to cover up his crime.
The Kennedy money and political power that they wielded allowed for a free pass that the ordinary citizen would not have been granted under the same circumstances. His claim of not drinking, his claim of confusion, and his long delay in reporting the incident all point to coverup.
I expected an exposé, not a dull reporting of what was already known -- in fact, this movie included a lot less than was already publicly known.
If you were looking for the truth, look somewhere besides this movie. It seems to be a Kennedy love-fest, excusing Ted Kennedy while hinting at the cover-up.
