For my dear friend, Jeff, who just heard that he's passed the Bar Exam. Back in the good ol' days, we used to fancy ourselves the star and co-star, respectively, of this film noir gem. I was the prettier one, although he had the better hair.

True Believer(1989)

He's probably off somewhere right now, "putting the facts on trial." I'm really proud of him!

Congratulations, Jeff!

And thanks for posting this trailer and reminding me just what a great movie this was.

A great movie and with Lou Reed to wrap it up:

"You can't depend on no miracle
You can't depend on the air
You can't depend on a wise man
You can't find them because they're not there"

Thanks so much, Aubrey. I'll send your congrats along to "my attorney." And yes, what a great end title theme. New York is such an incredible album!

Thanks for introducing me to this movie--I'd never heard of it before--but now I may try to rent it. Congrats to your friend as well!

Thank you, Renee. I certainly recommend True Believer, albeit with the caveat that it predates the American television and film industry's obsession with courtroom and police procedurals, so might seem a little tired nowadays. Woods gives a great performance, though. Let me know what you think!

Great news about Jeff and a nice video clip. I too have never seen True Believer but's now in my Amazon shopping cart (£4 - bargain)

I did the exact same thing (for roughly the same price, given our current exchange rates), Nige. Great minds think alike, I suppose? You'll definitely enjoy Woods in this.

Well Done, Counselor
