Reviews
Irwin Winkler brilliantly captures the madness that overtook Hollywood in the early 1950's
Mesmo se tornando ocasionalmente maniqueísta em seu nobre propósito de denunciar os absurdos do McCarthismo, o filme cumpre seu objetivo de maneira eficaz e traz, como protagonista, um herói involuntário e falho – mas ainda assim herói.
Surprisingly thoughtful account of the Red Scare. De Niro does some great work here.
