Plot
An investigative journalist finds himself in a bizarre nightmare as he tries to find out if there is any pattern behind the series of deaths of witnesses to the assassination of a US Senator. The clues he follows lead to the Parallax Corporation, a business that our man (Beatty) believes is secretly recruiting sociopathic types and training them as assassins. He enrols in their therapy programme......... A very smart conspiracy thriller with numerous 'parallels' to the JFK assassination. Top notch.
