The story of how a young Donald Trump started his real estate business in 1970s and 1980s New York with the help of famed attorney Roy Cohn. Longtime Trump and Roy M. Cohn associate Roger Stone admitted that Jeremy Strong’s portrayal of Cohn was «uncannily accurate.» [Trailer Clip] Roy Cohn: Rule #3: No matter what, you claim victory and never admit defeat. Featured in The 7PM Project: Episode dated October 11, 2024 (2024). There’s a reason why 50% of the reviews posted on IMDB for this movie are one star, but if you search for user reviews, you can’t find a single written review explaining why (as of this writing). That’s because the politics of the election almost certainly intervened and destroyed any chance of a real rating. I went to see the movie on opening night and it was very good, exceeded my expectations. It does a very good job of recreating the 70s and 80s and Stan plays the evolution of Donald Trump extremely well. Roy Cohn is also wonderfully played by Jeremy Strong who even took the time to examine Cohn’s mannerisms and the way he spoke and incorporated that into his acting. The movie has almost no political dimension, you get hints of Cohn’s political past and some politicians pop up, but for the most part the movie is about where a young Donald Trump learned to navigate the complex upper echelon of society where politics, law, and money mix.
