Funny thing about Robert Redford is that he may be a good looking man (for his age), and he may give off that charming demeanor, but i'm pretty sure he's as boring as a senile old man doing stand-up comedy... wait that actually sounds amazing... I digress. I was worried because Redford's movies have a tendency to be like him, dashingly well put together but as boring as a slow BM. ALAS this movie does not fall into the rest of his pile of droppings. It was surprisingly not that bad, and it actually reminded me of the Clint Eastwood film "Changeling" with all of courtroom scenes.
It drives me so crazy when I see movies like this and "The Majestic" where a bunch of old piggish men wearing fancy suits, and they give a person a chance to trial only so the person can have no chance of winning and eventually be executed. I'm sure the entire time the trials in "The Conspirator" were going on, Abe was looking down (honestly) from heaven thinking to himself "what a bunch of idiots! you guys are acting like a bunch of Elementary kids arguing over toys in the sandbox!" Then shortly after saying that he got ready for his famous Geico Commercial.
