Great movie. It's about the trial of Mary Surratt, one of nine people, the only female, accused of conspiracy in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. She owned the boarding house where the conspirators met. Her son was part of the group, which included John Wilkes Booth. It's a great story of the need by many for revenge after the assassination. I loved it. James McAvoy plays the young attorney assigned to defend Mary, not a popular job. Justin Long has a small part as one of James's friends. It was nice seeing him in something other than a romantic comedy. But his mustache is a little comical, just saying. I did not realize it was Directed and Produced by Robert Redford until the credits. No wonder I loved it. Another must see for me.
