James Woods has proved his talent time & again. I myself having been a huge fan of his since years now, have noticed tremendous growth & commitment in the acting-legend. In 'Citizen Cohn', Woods delivers an Astounding Performance as Roy Cohn. He portrays the real-life controversial figure with absolute magic.
'Citizen Cohn' Synopsis: As lawyer and power broker Roy Cohn lies dying of AIDS in a private hospital room, ghosts from his past visit him as he reflects on his life and loves.
'Citizen Cohn' depicts Roy Cohn's controversial & condemned life with brilliance. The Screenplay is pretty intense & the sequences in the court-room are no-holds-barred. Also, it projects Cohn's rise & fall without any inhibitions, which acts as its trump card. Frank Pierson's Direction is highly competent. Cinematography is neat.
Performance-Wise: Woods deserves to be complimented again & again. His performance here is among those terrifying turns that happen very, very rarely. His performance is a Masterpiece!
On the whole, 'Citizen Cohn' is an absorbing watch, with an unforgettable leading performance.
