Action Movie Lovers Beware

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2012)

If you love action movies and can't stand high drama, historical movies do not see this movie. You will have wasted your time and money and definitely will not appreciate the value of this film. However, if you do have a love of history and/or drama this movie is going to enthral you. Let's start with the cons: At some parts of the movie you may feel lost as to what is going on if you do not have a thorough knowledge of the political system in the US or if you weren't paying the utmost attention. Certain incidents were not well explained which led to a five minute period of annoyance as to what happened. The Pros: The movie at most parts is fast paced and does a great job of making a very accurate and gritty depiction of the last days of Lincoln The Verdict: If you are looking for a movie with good educational and dramatic value you should definitely see this movie. However, if you are hoping to see people say "yippie kay yay" and blow stuff up you may want to just rent Die Hard.
