The Conspirator (2011)

It is perhaps one of America's greatest manhunts of any kind. It is also one of the most prominent moments in U.S history, because it is so relevant. The man who ended slavery and united a nation after a treacherous war,  "Abraham Lincoln"  who is one of history's most principled leaders, gets his unfortunate end, when a confederate supporter 'John Wilkes Booth" shoots the commander-in-chief, while he and the first lady celebrate the bitter end of the war.

"Robert Redford" erects a true chilling and haunting depiction of the turmoil and chaos that occurred in our nation's capitol so many years ago. "The Conspirator" is a rare film that captures emotional essence,  that is what makes this a truly captivating historical drama film.

To make it as 1800's looking as possible, the costumes in the film are dark, dreary and true to the set time period.

Depicted with lots of emotion and depth, from the cast that  consists of: James McAvoy, Robin Wright, Alexis Bledel, and Tom Wilkinson.   Each and every actor performs in a manner of being  riveting, jaw-dropping, and robust.

This is quite possibly the greatest fact-based film ever.  "One bullet killed the president, but not one man." The film is filled with a fantastic screenplay to occupy our actors. And it is magnificent. This fact-based film is a truly dramatic account of one of the most gruesome events in American history, "The Conspirator" captures a meaningful and heartfelt event, as this film is one to watch for it's historical significance.
