MANUFACTURED MOVIES - TRUE BELIEVER

Sometimes you watch a movie -- generally the Hollywood kind -- and you are able to sense jokes and plot points seconds or minutes before they happen; or twists and surprises which are neither. True Believer (1989) is such an example. I watched it this evening on TVO's "Saturday Night at the Movies".

True Believer stars James Woods and Robert Downey Jr., two actors I like very much, and they get to do their thing here, but the movie is a little bit too much 'manufactured'.

I liked that one a lot, actually, but saw it so long ago that I can't properly discuss why.
