Can't get past the trailer. I know a little about Benjamin Franklin. Read about him. Seen several PBS documentaries where they go in depth on him. Saw the late great Tom Wilkinson portray him in John Adams, and it felt right. But I was extraordinarily cringed out just by seeing Michael Douglas in quite possibly the worst casted role in the history of television or film. When he looks into the French diplomats eye with a Michael Douglas twinkle and states he loves a dangerous game, I could not allow myself to get any further exposure of such lunacy without getting a stroke out of frustration. I only rated it 4 because I did not see it and felt other aspects may be respectable, but it is Michael Douglas in costume, not an actor playing Franklin.
