Over deze film

In the wake of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, seven men and one woman are arrested and charged with conspiring to kill the President, Vice President, and Secretary of State. The lone woman charged, Mary Surratt (ROBIN WRIGHT) owns a boarding house where John Wilkes Booth (TOBY KEBBELL) and others met and planned the simultaneous attacks. Against the ominous back-drop of post-Civil War Washington, newly-minted lawyer, Frederick Aiken (JAMES McAVOY) reluctantly agrees to defend Surratt before a military tribunal. Aiken realizes his client may be innocent and that she is being used as bait and hostage in order to capture the only conspirator to have escaped a massive manhunt, her own son, John (JOHNNY SIMMONS). As the nation turns against her, Surratt is forced to rely on Aiken to uncover the truth and save her life. From director Robert Redford, The Conspirator is a riveting thriller that tells a powerful story about America then and now.

Know that John Wilkes Booth was a failure as an actor. His brother Edmund Booth was considered the great American actor. I have so many questions about the holes in this movie. They're frustrating and yuk. The actors were fairly good, but they were wasted because of having a whole movie about one stupid idea. Nothing touching, nothing meaningful! Nothing!

Since I am a CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN I am afraid to say anything about this movie since GOOGLE YOUTUBE, TWITTER, AND FACEBOOK MIGHT BAN ME FROM ALL SOCIAL MEDIA LIKE ALEX JONES, H3H3, AND GAVIN MCINNES. ****KIND OF FUNNY HOW IN THIS MOVIE 1 HOUR AND 18 MINUTES IN, THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENS TO THE MAIN CHARACTER IN THIS MOVIE AT THE COUNTRY CLUB. WHERE McAVOYS CHARACTER IS BANNED CUZ HE POINTED OUT AND SPOKE THE TRUTH!!!! READ THE NOTE THROUGH THE WINDOW WHEN THEY ARE ABOUT TO ENTER THE COUNTRY CLUB. 1HR AN 18MIN IN. NOW YOU SEE HOW EVIL GOOGLE YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK, AND TWITTER ARE DOING THE SAME EXACT EVIL THING AS IN THIS MOVIE!!!! SILENCING FREE SPEECH AND THE TRUTH. BANNING ANYONE WHO DOESNT THINK LIKE THEM. GO WATCH HOW THEY BAN MCAVOY'S CHARACTER 1HOUR AND 18MINUTES INTO THE MOVIE...HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF!!! GOOGLE HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE SAME EVIL PEOPLE IN THIS MOVIE?? SO SAD I USE TO LOVE GOOGLE YOUTUBE. SO SAD GOOGLE YOUTUBE IS AGAINST FREE SPEECH AND THE TRUTH!!!

Excellent movie. A truly, historically accurate made film. Robert Redford is a very good film maker. If you're looking for a good movie to watch during this pandemic, then I suggest this one.
