At the beginning of the film, it is stated that the year is 1899. However, at the dinner party, Newgate makes a joke about the character Mickey Finn's name and its association to "knockout drops." The real Mickey Finn, a Chicago bartender known for putting knockout drops in his patrons' drinks, was not caught in this activity until 1903 and the phrase did not enter common usage in America for at least another decade.

I guess the IMDb rating is not anymore relevant for the quality of the movies nowadays. back then, prior to 2005, it was a good sign of distinguishing good movies from the crap, but not anymore. I guess IMDb authorities have to find ways to prevent organised efforts leading to high/low rating of the movies in their website. I have been already a victim of false ratings ,i.e. Chef, but now I read only the reviews before I watch a movie.
Having this movie below 7, I thought I should double think about watching it. but after reading some reviews here I gave it a go and can't regret a single minute of it. the movie theme is strong, characters are well-cooked and beautifully directed. I would have normally given it 7/10, cause I gave 10/10 only to very brilliant movies like "Edge of tomorrow", "Minority report", "Forest Gump", "Brave heart", etc. however, after seeing the rating of this movie in par or lower than some recent craps, I decided to give it 9/10.
It is a good movie which makes you feel good about spending 2 hours of your life for watching it.
