True Believer (1989 Joseph Ruben)

Written by Wesley Strick. James L Woods is a former Greenwich Village idealist lawyer who's sold out and now gets drugs dealers off (himself partial to dope in his ridiculous pony tail). But for no clear reason he decides to help an Asian who is inside for a murder he claims he did not commit - cue Chinatown (not that one) and shady coverings up. Robert Downey Jr is his assistant - well, his dad died last year, so I guess he's now simply Robert Downey - who really does very little - a non-part, sadly. It's not the best movie in the world.

With Margaret Colin, Yuji Okumoto, Kurtwood Smith, Luis Guzman. All the acting's somewhat overdone.
