True Believer (1989)
Remember when I said that I was trying to watch all of Robert Downey, Jr.'s movies? This one almost marks the end of his 80s period (I consider the end to be his amazing work in Chaplin, but I've still got a few to go). I won't be sad to see that period end. While he was alright in this film, the movie overall was lacking the fire that a good courtroom drama should have. It was less about the innocent man sent to prison for murder and more about the supposed redemption of James Woods' defense attorney character.
My Netflix rating: 3 stars
