For those who thought Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln was the definitive docudrama on the last months of the life of the 16th President, Adrian Moat’s Killing Lincoln makes for a superb supplemental accompanying feature. Covering mostly the final days of both Lincoln and his killer John Wilkes Booth, this engrossing docudrama will fill in many informational cracks and provide some real surprises in the knowledge of most viewers about the events leading up to and occurring after the first assassination of a U. S. President.
