weak

Rating: 3/10 (6 April 2012)

The story is weak, there is a lot of potential, but the delivery is disappointing. Most of the story is highly predictable. I am not American but I would be interested to know if the American accent in the acting at the beginning of the film, when President Lincoln is killed, is accurate to that time.. it sounds too modern. These are details that make a story credible or a fake. Furthermore Nicholas Cage's acting does not do justice to the character. Overall the story could have been interesting, but unfortunately it does not keep you glued to the screen. Very predictable ending. Finally (which for any non-American is a 'put off') there is too much cliché about American 'feel good' where, for example, the French and British are made to look like idiots. Just another family action movie, not one to remember.
