    Odd and not entirely uninteresting little docudrama.

    Under even the best of circumstances, Saving Lincoln would have to inevitably face the scrutiny of potential redundancy.

    The movie’s gimmick is having the actors visually superimposed over sets created from actual Civil War photographs. But this collage effect, while striving for truthfulness, comes off like a View-Master version of a tale already told.

    Saving Lincoln feels amateurish, strange and beyond redress.
