Summary: Eddie Dodd is a burnt out former civil rights lawyer who now specializes in defending drug dealers. Roger Baron, newly graduated from law school, has followed Eddie's great cases and now wants to learn at his feet. With Roger's idealistic prodding, Eddie reluctantly takes on a case of a young Korean man who, according to his mom, has been in jail for eight years for a murder he did not commit. (imdb)

Despite a great performance by James Woods as Eddie Dodd I could never get over how horrendously awful his ponytail is. True Believer certainly has good moments in it but I found the core story to be a bit too much. Additionally the courtroom scenes frequently become unbelievable as the judge manages to let the lawyers get away with pretty much any outburst the melodrama requires. Still it's not a half bad redemption story.

Something about settling for the greater good! Boooo boooo, eighties music yeah-yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. The performances were good, the story not so solid, but the thematic ideas were nice.

A solid script and a home run performance by James Woods make this Legal drama a stand-out among others of its genre.
