Abraham Lincoln's story ends tragically - but given a film about that story, knowing the ending, we need a great script and acting to keep us caring for what eventually happens. Jump ahead a few hundred years and in this legal drama (A. Lincoln was also a lawyer) we surely don't know if all turns out well in the end or at least the writer/director try to keep you guessing. A good film that occupies your mind with minor distractions (the repeated slow dissolves from blur to crisp film become trademark) along with witty last-liners that betray the writer rather than the individual characters that share one wit. 3/5 looks at my watch.
An enjoyable film
It was a waste of time.
A solid three star movie, no blockbuster but entertaining just the same. Acting was good but the plot was a little cliche. The ending was a little disappointing but overall worth seeing. lochnesshampster
