The other Lincoln

Rating: 5/10 (4 February 2013)

Having just also watched Spielbergs Lincoln, I do wonder which one is more historical accurate ... Seriously though: With a title like that, you know what to expect. An action packed not historical account of one Americas most influential presidents. And while you wouldn't expect it at the times we are living, he was Republican. A fact that doesn't really play a great role in this movie (based on a fictional novel), because it isn't political.
Which makes the fact that after 2/3 of the movie, it almost turns serious kind of awkward. It feels strange when the action comes to a full stop (even though it's not for long). So while the action scenes are good, the drama is not up to the task. If you don't care for that, you might have more fun than I did, but I thought I'd warn you
