A story that you seen a dozen times before, but James Woods brings out his charismatic charm that turns a mediocre movie to a good one.

Very poorly written. Characters' motives are consistently head scratching. Lawyers take a case they have no reason to. They fight hard for innocence yet have no basis for that belief. Injustice is simply assumed until they can find evidence to support it. It's actually really bad.

I really wanted to like this movie. It offered all the ingredients for a perfect evening watch: good actors, great 80s music and a gripping legal drama. Unfortunately, the dialogue felt forced, the drama manufactured and the outbursts, in many scenes, fake and overdramatic.

It's a pretty standard legal drama, but it does satisfy of you're in the mood for a procedural, one that's heightened by an explosive Woods performance. My God that hair though... I know it's the 80s and all, but talk about distracting!

Keeping well in mind the year of release in 1989, this cheesy acted at times crime thriller is pretty good overall and held its own in time stamping while watching last night for only my 2nd time. Robert Downey Jr was significantly better than Woods as Woods gave this film at times some yes, cheese, with some over the top moments. But quite enjoyable and a 7 out of 10. Not on any streaming services please know and note! Why many times dvd's and blu-ray are still superior!!! (May 18/22)

It has been a long time since seeing the film true believer . James woods is a great actor and should get recognized more often. This film had me on edge watching it the whole time. Very worth the ⏲️.

It works for what it is but it has nothing new or interesting to say.

An easy watch generic court room drama . I would say it doesn’t add anything new to the genre but it’s an older film so it’s been around longer than most films that set the precedent for me . It was nice seeing a young Robert Downey before he came into his persona that we know him by today . Overall I’d say it’s a 2.7/5, not a bad watch

True Believer is a rather formulaic courtroom drama about a lawyer who never takes murder cases getting suckered into the biggest case of his career. It’s a familiar premise, and the film does little to elevate above the quality of a procedural 온라인카지노추천 show that would have the same story. James Woods is the star, and I think he’s miscast. He’s supposed to be a rather rebellious lawyer who doesn’t conform to the standards and expectations of a someone in his position. Instead he takes the sleaziest and worst clients he can find. It doesn’t fit, because Woods has an air of respectability that defies this reputation. Robert Downey, Jr. co-stars as the straight-laced lawyer fresh out of school who doesn’t agree with the principles and procedures of his mentor. It’s almost like these two personalities should be swapped because RDJ could crush that more sleazy, rebellious role. The whole film feels like a lot of wasted potential. There are certainly ways that they could have made this work better, and even used this as the jumping off point for a series of movies with the same lawyers. But the odd casting, and the by-the-numbers plot spoiled any chances of that. Even though True Believer is flawed, I can say at least it has a decent story. I tend to be a sucker for courtroom dramas, so I forgave a lot of the flaws and just enjoyed what the movie delivered. It’s one of those movies I’d say you could watch if you happen to catch it on 온라인카지노추천, but don’t go out of your way for it.

James Woods is Just Wonderful. Early Pretty Boy Downey and I adore Margaret Colin, a highly under-rated actress. Had already fell in love with her in As The World Turns.

James Woods, Robert Downey Jr. Drug lawyer help true cause

It started off a little slow, but turned into a really captivating legal thriller. Solid acting from James Woods and Robert Downey Jr. (First and only viewing - 1/8/2017)

Great little 80's buddy-lawyer film

Excellent crime/courtroom drama with James Woods showing off his acting chops the whole way, but look for Kurtwood Smith from That 70s Show giving a button down performance as the DA.

Above average courtroom thriller which becomes quite formulaic in its later stages. James Woods (with a stupid ponytail) is a maverick civil rights lawyer who takes on cases others don't, partnered with rookie Robert Downey Jr, he tries to clear a convict's name after he has already been serving 8 years for murder. I'm a big fan of the two main actors and this movie was entertaining enough, it's just a shame about all the cliches. I always thought James Woods deserved better. A very good actor.

A solid court room drama dominated by James Woods - It reminds me of a film that came a few years before it - 'The Verdict' which was also a one man show starring Paul Newman. The cases may be completely unrelated, but the screen dominance certainly isn't. Watching both back to back would be a fun ride.

A very good legal thriller

A great courtroom drama that almost nobody has ever heard of.

Not bad but you would expect more from Woods and Downey who have contributed to the acting canon much more effectively in other films. Consider this to be a Sunday afternoon nothing else better to do type of film.

Much like its main actor, 'True Believer' is as underrated as it gets!
