The Conspirator has everything going for it. It's timely, has great actors (Kevin Kline, Tom Wilkinson to name a couple), excellent costumes, and sets. The movie also has great buzz which is hard to get these days with the crop of poor films that have been coming out.
The story is about Mary Surratt, who is charged as a co-conspirator in the assassination trial of Abraham Lincoln. As the whole nation turns against her, she is forced to rely on her lawyer to uncover the truth and save her life.
My problem with this movie is that I didn't care about Mary and I knew well in advance how it was going to end. In between the 2 hours there was nothing to engage me, I couldn't wait until the end of the movie.
Academy Award winning director Robert Redford gives Kevin Kline a chance to show talent that he has not displayed in years.
James McAvoy, from Wanted, gives it the college try but is not able to carry the film.
Verdict:
You will want to hang yourself after sitting thru this movie.
