Not entirely historically accurate-- but what historical movie is, anyway? It sets out to tell the overall arc of a historical event, and it does it effectively, with great acting and an effective score.The portrayal of certain events leaves the viewer with a sense of trepidation, which is brutally effective. For example, the portrayal of the assassination of Lincoln had me in anxious anticipation of what was to come, even though I knew already.It makes for good commentary on how a senseless thirst for revenge, as well as assumptions and predetermined verdicts can undermine the law. This historical event is still relevant today, and will be for as long as we allow bias and misplaced needs for revenge when judging persons of a crime; and it's portrayed quite well in the movie.That said, the movie does stretch the truth quite a bit, with regard to how the event actually happened and how the historical figures were portrayed. It's portrayed as far more black and white in terms of morality than it actually was. However, it still gets its message across and conveys the story decently. It's certainly worth seeing if one has an interest in history.

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!
