In the wake of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, seven men and one woman are arrested and charged with conspiring to kill the President, the Vice-President, and the Secretary of State. The lone woman charged, Mary Surratt, 42, owns a boarding house where John Wilkes Booth and others met and planned the simultaneous attacks. Against the ominous back-drop of post-Civil War Washington, newly-minted lawyer, Frederick Aiken, a 28-year-old Union war-hero, reluctantly agrees to defend Surratt before a military tribunal. As the trial unfolds, Aiken realizes his client may be innocent and that she is being used as bait and hostage in order to capture the only conspirator to have escaped a massive manhunt, her own son.
Leave your thoughts about The Conspirator.
| Times-PicayuneMike ScottA talky and often-stodgy film that will please history buffs but leave ordinary viewers a touch cold. |
| Austin American-StatesmanJane SumnerCinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel paints a world lit by candles, gaslights and torches, and costume designer Louise Frogley makes the cast look like people of the period, not actors wearing rented clothes. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...an earnest yet surprisingly entertaining courtroom drama about the trial of Mary Surratt |
| Detroit NewsTom LongThe Conspirator fairly drips with nobility, timeliness and class. If only it were a bit more fiery. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekSober, respectful, but rather stilted and talky...may be long on factual accuracy, but...it lacks dramatic energy. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinThe Conspirator should skip theaters altogether and become the first film released straight to middle-school history classes, where the standards for what can generously be deemed entertainment are much lower. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA poignant and ethically-charged courtroom drama about yet another overlooked and forgotten abomination from America's past. |
| Christianity TodaySteven D. GreydanusIf it speaks truth to power, it's a truth I can imagine bringing together the film's left-wing director and the likes of Ron Paul or Glenn Beck. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallRedford proves that at 75 he can still choose meaningful projects and deliver them with intelligence. |
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerIf the corporate media is notorious for reporting only what they deem politically expedient, the official historical record may be even worse. Take for instance the execution by the feds for conspiracy in Lincoln's assassination, Mary Surratt. Mary who? |
