Movie Review: James Woods does it again
Summary: 5 Stars
I just watched this yesterday and it was a very enjoyable and had a very surprising end. The actors were excellent. I am a James Woods fan anyway. It is worth the price and the time to watch it.Movie Review: James Woods at his best
Summary: 5 Stars
Great movie. James Woods doing his best acting. If you like a great courtroom drama with twists after twists, then movie is for you.Movie Review: A winner film
Summary: 4 Stars
James Woods has been one of the best actors in the screen. He is outstanding and always he commits in just five hundred per cent in all his performances. Powerful and expressive, but in Hollywood he has had just isolated opportunities. It's missunderstable.Earl Dodd is very special lawyer, he isn't a typical image of lucky lawyer. and obviously our character lived with too much passion those singular decades from the sixties and seventies.
From this perpective a singular case challenges him; to assume the defense of a chinese acussed of murder, being not guilty. This movie will tell about all the resources and special methods of our antihero for winning this dark case.
Robert Downey Jr. plays the typical role of the rookie naif lawyer who thinks the world is fair and clean. Soon he'll learn too many issues about how to deal with the life and specaiily in this business.
A well built script allows Woods to release all his stamina and skills, specially in front the Court in the first half of the film.
Solid film , with smart situations and a fine sense of humor. Worthy work.
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.Movie Review: Legal thriller
Summary: 4 Stars
The plot revolves around matters of legal and personal integrity, where a once honorable attorney (James Woods) who struggled for the rights of the under-dog now fights to free drug dealers. His newly hired law clerk, an idealistic youth played by Robert Downey Jr, helps to bring the lawyer a genuine case where corruption has put the wrong man behind bars. As the intricate plots unfolds, Woods' character begins to regain his personal and professional integrity. A brilliant supporting performance by Kurtwood Smith as the D.A. helps boost this film.
