But I'm so biased toward Civil War Era movies, books, that I really don't think you can trust me with an opinion about them.
I like it. But, and as I mentioned, some of the acting is not good at all. Same for a lot of the dialog IMHO. It's beautifully filmed. Incredible sets, costumes, the lighting is phenomenal.
Lot of what is happening I had not read in the many history books I've read.... so I'm dubious as to the factual accuracy BUT.... it does follow the basic chase to nab Booth. Also - it's always good when you know the bad guy is going to get it in the end.
I would recommend it to anyone who finds reading tedious yet still has at least a little interest. OR for Civil War Era fanatics like me.
