Having been seduced by her performance in The Borgias, I watched this purely because I spotted Holliday Grainger in the cast list. While she's no Lucrezia in this, she holds her own with a charismatic performance and believable accent. Emile as Clyde was a pleasant surprise; likable and authentic. However, liberties have clearly been taken with the interpretation of true events. Take it with a pinch of salt and enjoy it for what it is - an indulgent retelling of an iconic piece of American history which infuses fact with fiction for impact. There's eye candy aplenty with props and casting, and the music adds atmosphere. It's easy to get a sense of the period and it left me feeling vaguely nostalgic and inspired to find out more about the reality behind the story.
