Rating: 3/10 (27 February 2013)

That's a pretty bad film all-around - except for Daniel Day-Lewis' part which is simply amazing.
Apart from that, it's a typical Spielberg'ish shenanigan.
Trust me - if, like me, all your interest in this film had purely to do with the lead role, it's not worth the 2 hours and a half.

If you're interested in the historical details, everything is pretty much spot on (besides the Conneticut voting). As an European citizen though, I confess I'm a bit tired of hearing stories about "the land of the free and oh-so-great US of A" as often as I do. It all ends up sounding like lame propaganda with a very distinct diferenciation between good and evil - the good being the ones who history deems victorious. I dunno... not a huge fan of mr. Spielberg's simple way of dealing with the complexities of inter-human relationships.
