EMILIO ESTEVEZ’S drama relives events leading up to the shooting of Senator Robert Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel, in Los Angeles, through the eyes of 22 fictional characters whose fates intersect that night.
Estevez maintains a brisk pace and he has a good ear for dialogue. The writer- director also achieves a pleasing balance between the light-hearted and the melancholy.
With so many storylines to flesh out in less than two hours, some of the characters come off worse than others.
Fortune favours the brave, but it doesn’t always reward them, and as engrossing as Bobby is, there’s a nagging feeling that an even better film was well within Estevez’s grasp.
