James Woods plays Roy Cohn, a ruthless attorney who first took the Rosenbergs to trial as spies, ensuring he got them the death penalty. As Senator Joe McCarthy's right-hand man in the Communist witch-hunts of the 1950s, he disrupted many more lives. During the Kennedy years, he fought their support of civil rights, befriending the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover and attempting to undermine the leadership of Martin Luther King. 1992/color/112 min/R.
