sure it be well shot and make and very well shot and make . but the story be just so weak . and the portrayal of lincoln be even weak . not that henry fonda wasn not good but the character he play be nothing but a loon . do you mean to tell me that lincoln be a wise crack smart as with no respect of the law or the court . i mean who the hell be he suppose to be . cousin vinnie . i mean come on and i will just call you jackass then . i understand that ford be go for great funny hero guy but i do not really like this guy at all . he cheat in sport and talk like a real sweet simpleton and do not seem to know be to sit in a courtroom . how be i suppose to take this seriously . the twist be even weak . i mean come on . that be just stupid . the whole story seem like it be think up by some 5 year old in his or her dream . say that i like it enough and it be very entertaining and make me laugh at several occasion so i can not say it a bad film . in fact i must say that i must say it good enough and nothing that entertain me and make me laugh can be bad but this vivid and silly story be just so ridiculous that i can not understand how anyone could consider it great . i have no idea how historically accurate this film be but if any of it be true i would really have to shake my head .
