SPOILER: I was thinking about the 'old evidence'.


The "evidence pictures" that the conspiracy theory guy had really proves the father of the main character right when he say that the game nowadays isn't what it used to be. The assassination of JFK, boy, that's a quite grand task right there.

Which made me think about that particular task. It should mean one of two things. Either the killer of JFK was a relative of his, or that this mission was lower on someone's list than no:13. Now, it shouldn't have been someone's no: 13 task since anyone related to JFK would have a better chance of succeeding in killing off ANY other family member than the freaking president of the United states (unless of course, this person happened to really hate JFK). So, if killing the president was somebody's 1-12 task, the game was quite more hardcore back in the days compared to the things the main character in the movie was asked to perform, hehe.

It was sorta implied that the 13th task would always be killing a family member, but we don't know if that was always true.

Hell, that could've just been the 13th task for this particular blood line.

And who knows, maybe the assassin didn't have any family?

I understand the theme here about greed making you willing to do things you would never do in a rational state of mind. However, I don't feel like a Kennedy close enough to assassinate him would be that hard up for money, nor would they choose to do it publicly. If getting off without any consequences is part of the deal, I think it'd be much easier to get him alone. I'm just speculating, however. I, too, was out of the room when this little tidbit was mentioned. Although, having read about this after the fact did annoy me a bit, so I understand why other viewers would be put off by this upon watching it.
