Great casting across the board--Joe Don Baker as Joseph McCarthy is the thing of dreams (or midrange TV movies, God bless them).

Serviceable biopic about Joseph McCarthy's hatchet man during the Red Scare of the mid-fifties. Unfortunately, as good an actor as James Woods is, he never seems to really grasp the essence of what Roy Cohn was. All the time he's on screen, he comes across as the usual James Woods angry SOB character that he's been playing for years.
