This story of Civil War era politics and ethics draws you in on a issue that is still relevant today. Even though the outcome is history (literally) the suspense and drama leading up to it keep you interested and hopeful that the right thing happens. The cast of notable actors do a great job as you get lost in the time and place through great cinematography and a well-suited soundtrack. It's a bit hard to follow the dialogue as the film starts but soon enough you are drawn into the story and all becomes clear. A good film which seems shorter than its 2.5 hr running time.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.
