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.
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
