Ron kobeleski biography

There's a reason "Interview with the Assassin" is entering theaters on Nov. 22 — its focus is a pale, thin man in tinted glasses who says he fired the bullet that shot John F.

Kennedy, exactly 39 years ago. Made in gritty, faux-documentary style, "Interview" is basically a two-person drama, as would-be gunman Walter Ohlinger (Raymond J. Barry) faces unemployed cameraman Ron Kobeleski (Dylan Haggerty) and tells him a story that would chill anyone's blood.

"Killing someone's easy," he says, his eyes steely and still. "The trick is getting away."

Writer/director Neil Burger, making his debut here, brings a bare-bones tension to a concept that initially feels like a stunt, and a fairly tasteless one at that.

But the movie, in its creepy way, grows on you, and the very real-person vibe of the actors contributes immensely to the documentary-like realism (as does the absence of typical feature-film touches, such as a soundtrack)
