    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Very little is known about the real Frederick Aiken. No photographs of him exist.
    • Goofs
      When Booth is trapped and killed, he still has his distinctive mustache. He shaved his face soon after he killed Abraham Lincoln, to make himself less recognizable.
    • Quotes

      Edwin Stanton: Young man... always indebted to you for your courage in the field, but you must learn to tread lightly.

      Frederick Aiken: Tread lightly? I will not tread lightly. You have predetermined her fate.

      Edwin Stanton: Mary Surratt's fate rests entirely with the Commission. My concern is preserving our Union.

      Frederick Aiken: Why did I fight for the Union if my rights aren't assured? You tell me.

      Edwin Stanton: Fine words for rallying the troops, not for running a nation. They assassinated our president, and someone must be held accountable. The people want that.

      Frederick Aiken: It's John Surratt you want. You don't even want Mary.

      Edwin Stanton: I'll settle for either one.

    Great film, not just Civil War history buffs
    Saw the film today, I was very impressed. Yes somethings looked wrong (mostly uniform items) but on the whole a job well done. Great film locations and acting. James MacAvoy follows his outstanding performance in Last King of Scotland with a tour de force. Robin Wright plays her role just right. Kevin Kline's performance might be my favorite of his ever. Outstanding period feel with great on site shooting at homes in Savannah, GA. Got the impression that at least the film company made a serious effort to get the look right. The Q and A after the screen I attended really highlighted the efforts they put into the film to get it right. Noted historian James McPherson was a consultant strongly recommended film when it comes out on April 15th.
