A nice courtroom drama with great historic context
Spielberg makes these history movies / documentaries, I'd take any day
A little too long, but still very enthralling.
Absolutely brilliant historical drama, powerful and moving with some great acting and cinematography. One of Spielbergs best, must see movie
Saw this when it 1st came out as a film 4 a boring weekend, was fairly impressed by the cast, but still only a 1 time watch!
Underrated period drama. Has some dark elements but a power message.
Watched this in history class not very historically actuate but neither is 300
Very long, slow movie that picks up steam as it goes along. Stacked cast that are firing on all cylinders too
Spielberg and his cast are in top form. Very compelling plot that looses steam around the third act. John Williams is amazing as always.
Great historical movie. A lot to learn from the past. Great acting too.
