Robert Redford directed this 2011 historical drama about Mary Surratt's involvement in the conspiracy to assassinate Abraham Lincoln. If nothing else can be said about the film, its cast is certainly impressive: James McAvoy, Tom Wilkinson, Robin Wright, Justin Long, Evan Rachel Wood, Kevin Kline and many others. My two favorites were both big players in the HBO series The Wire - Roland Pryzbylewski and Frank Sobotka.
The Conspirator was good enough to watch at home, but would have been even better to show to a class full of high school students, as it plays just like a documentary.
