Movie Reviews of True Believer
Movie Review: Lawyers wear pony tails... don't they?
Summary: 4 Stars
For those individuals in constant misery for lack of an answer to that burning, age old question, "what ever happened to all those activist, civil rights lawyers from the 60s" True Believer just might be your redemption. James Woods, pony tail and all, plays Eddie Dodd, an aging lawyer who, you guessed it, made a reputation for himself in the 60's as an activist, civil rights lawyer. Now specializing in defending drug dealers from "The Man" Dodd takes on a murder case at the request of a pleading mother who insists her son is innocent. With a solid supporting cast, True Believer is a satisfying courtroom drama/whodunit with just enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. This may not be 12 Angry Men or To Kill a Mockingbird but it is one of Woods' signature performances and a must have for any James Woods fan. The widescreen format upconverts to 1080 dpi very well and the sound is typical for DVD.
Summary of True Believer
Powerful thriller about a former civil rights attorney and his idealistic young associate who re-open an eight year old murder case. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 05/13/2008 Starring: James Woods Robert Downey Jr Run time: 103 minutes Rating: R Director: Joseph RubenEddie Dodd (James Woods) is a former '60s radical lawyer who now spends his time cynically defending drug dealers for the big bucks. But an idealistic young prot?g? (Robert Downey Jr.) convinces him to take one case from the heart: a young Korean immigrant unjustly accused in a gang slaying. Woods (complete with add-on ponytail) fairly hums with energy once he gets cooking here. Playing the been-there-done-that mentor--not to mention legal gadfly--gives Woods plenty of opportunity to run off at the mouth with spicy one-liners and zingers. But it also allows him to do some real acting, capturing Eddie's denial and sense of disappointment in himself. Plus his vehicle is a not-too-shabby mystery by thrillmeister director Joseph Ruben (Sleeping with the Enemy). --Marshall Fine
