The Conspirator

Boring.  Two hours of boredom.  In a film in which the entire plot is based around its characters I formed no emotional attachment whatsoever to the individuals or their predicaments, did not care one lick about the trial, and Justin Long was completely miscast.  The entire thing was stagnant and dry, no life in either the acting or the plot.  A woman who owns the boarding house that hosted the Lincoln assassinators is put on a totally rigged military trial for her alleged part in the conspiracy.  Could have made for some powerful courtroom drama, but not even working in flashbacks could save this walking dead.
