The Conspirator by Robert Redford, 2010 (PG-13)
with James McAvoy (Trance, X-Men: First Class), Robin Wright (Adore - Perfect Mothers, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Breaking and Entering, House of Cards, Moneyball), Evan Rachel Wood (Mildred Pierce, The Wrestler, Simone), Alexis Bledel, Justin Long, Danny Huston (You Don't Know Jack, Robin Hood, Hitchcock), Norman Reedus (American Gangster), Kevin Kline, Tom Wilkinson (Duplicity, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Michael Clayton, The Ghost Writer)
Mary Surratt is the lone female charged as a co-conspirator in the assassination trial of Abraham Lincoln. As the whole nation turns against her, she is forced to rely on her reluctant lawyer to uncover the truth and save her life.
At the very beginning of the United State, from a justice system that doesn't envy much to the present one for being much more sophisticated. And the movie doesn't try to avoid or forgive it. It is straight forward, and supported by major actors, and makes you question our foundations and the world still today.
