Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Those most interested in American history will probably find The Conspirator most valuable. Those who want a historical romance or a courtroom potboiler will be disappointed. You have to give credit to Redford, Wright and McAvoy, and the other filmmakers. Not many films this smart can be made. | 15 | |
