Meh.

Rating: 3/10 (22 September 2009)

I really couldn't get into this movie. In fact, I fell asleep for a few minutes about every 20 minutes. I really enjoyed their use of red cellophane paper. It really added a grisly feel to the "action". I do not recommend this film to anyone with narcolepsy. I am not really interested in history and historical films, so I will seldom refer to The Birth of a Nation in any regard, forevermore. The most memorable scene, however, was the assassination of former President Abraham Lincoln. A powerful event in American history captured for the first time on film? Nice. The music was definitely a nice touch, though. The superb use of the score during the changes from scene to scene, from action shot to action shot, I was blown away.
