This movie was informative, well acted, and held my interest throughout. I think that every American should see "Lincoln" to understand how our Country was formed. Also, to understand how wonderful a leader President Lincoln was. He was a man of limited education yet a man ahead of his time.
Pros great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Meryl Streep Does It Again

Ms. Streep seems to transform into the person she portrays. In this case, she IS Margaret Thatcher! I wish the movie had been as strong as its star. The last third of the movie just kept getting weaker and weaker and the ending was extremely disappointing. I overheard people asking each other "is it over?"; "what happened?" So, go to see a splendid performance my one of America's best actors, but be prepared to be underwhelmed by the movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Fantastic. Great direction, strong acting. You don't have a moment to catch your breath. Not your run of the mill cops and robbers movie. Done smartly. Even moments of humor. Great shots of Boston's neighborhoods.
Love Scorsese and DiCaprio but I was disappointed. Not a "thriller". I read there was a surprise ending and explanation, so very early in the film I guessed the ending. DiCaprio and Kingsley did great jobs. The rest of the cast "overacted". Film should have ended 30 minutes prior.
