I thought it was really good. (And nice to learn some history from a film that's also entertaining)
Excellent!
I loved it. Redford did a great job. Need more movies like this.
damn fine movie good acting all around def worth checking out!
Bought the DVD. Great story, and great acting if you like period pieces. Mine came with a 2nd, special features DVD that contained a documentary that contradicted the conclusion the movie steered you towards.

In The Conspirator, one wishes that the director had found the grace to touch upon, rather than belabor, the parallels between the conspirators of 1865 and the present-day inmates of Guantánamo. Full Review

The cast is uniformly outstanding, a pleasure to watch. It's a more toned-down role for the often-fiery McAvoy, and it suits him. Full Review

This provocative account of a war-weary administration that denied Surratt her right to a fair trial starts slow but builds momentum in the scenes with Wright and Evan Rachel Wood as Surratt's flinty daughter, Anna. Full Review
