Watch The Conspirator For Free

not horrible nor great

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

more than a film, it is a challenge. a great one. because it propose a not well known from American modern history. because each detail is defined with precision , in many moments The Conspirator becoming a contemporary story. because the subjects are high delicate but presented in the most inspired manner. and sure, the acting. who escapes from every definition temptation because it is perfect. a mother and her lawyer. need of revenge. justice act as a dark mixture of hypocrisy and preconceptions, stereotypes and marked by the woman condition in a society of men. but the best detail is the splendid art of Robin Wright to do a special, delicate eulogy to motherhood. and the grow up of young lawyer to assume his difficult and impossible duty for James McAvoy. not only a beautiful film. but, more important, an useful one. not only for the exposure of a historical episode. but for reflection about contemporary problems and themes.

I thought that The Conspirator was great movie and you don't need to be a big Civil War buff to enjoy it. I had never real heard or been taught much about what happened with the trials after Lincons assassination. After watching the movie I did a little more research online and thought that it was a very interesting story and the movie does a great job of telling it. There are some minor historical inaccuracies, it tells of the trial for the conspirators and specifically about Mary Surratt. I think that this is a story that everyone should know and I'm not sure why they don't teach or talk about what happened more in school. Overall I thought that it was a great movie that every one should see, especially if you are interested in the Civil War.

This suspenseful, historical drama contained an addicting plot that drew ones eyes to the screen in attention. Before I watched this movie, I was dreading the experience. It was for an American History assignment where I will also have to do a report at the finish. However, as the film progressed and the future of the multiple characters became increasingly evident, I grew steadily more interested. I found that the feelings expressed through each character, mainly the union colonel and Mary Surratt, were surprisingly accurate to the times and the actors did a remarkable job at captivating these emotions. With all of the roles being well played, I could not say justly that the movie was not good, but rather that history was not very good; especially with the horrific ending that trails this movie. Overall, the historical document in the film had minor inaccuracies, but these did not hinder the watching of the film. It was enjoyable for being a school break assignment. Enjoy watching the film, but if you were wanting a Disney ending, I would suggest ending about 20 minutes before the end. Happy viewing!
