Review of Killing Lincoln (2013) by Ted N — 22 Jun 2013
Initially, I was put off when Killing Lincoln turned out to be more of a TV documentary with high production value reenactments than a feature film. With the exception of Billy Campbell as President Lincoln, some of the acting wasn't up to par with the cinematography.
Furthemore, having Tom Hanks as commentator and "host" of the program seemed out of place, disrupting the flow of the narrative. But after a while, I began to appreciate the wealth of insight and the painstaking research into the history about the assassination.
This, by the way, was one of the last productions the late, great Tony Scott worked on with his brother, Ridley. Definitely recommended.
