Guilty by Suspicion Reviews

For almost 20 years, I have been a huge fan of Robert De Niro’s work, I have been watching obsessively almost all his movies (I have managed to watch already 70 of his movies so far which is not that bad, I believe). Anyway, at the beginning of the 90’s, his career was still pretty good (at least, if you compare it to the poor movies he is making nowadays) and this movie was not one bad at all, even if it was definitely one of his more osbcure movies. The first interesting thing about this flick is that it was Irwin Winkler’s directing debut. Winkler is above all famous as a producer and he was involved in some major classics like the whole Rocky franchise and most of the movies directed by Martin Scorsese. Anyway, at the time, it seems that he wanted also to get in the directing chair and managed to get the great Robert De Niro involved. Basically, it is an intriguing drama about McCarthyism, definitely an interesting subject, but somehow, I thought the whole thing was rather flat. Still, even though it was far from being a masterpiece, I thought it was a decent flick and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested by the subject.
