Apparently, this movie was created for the unpretentious and stupid audience that is used to Hollywood-style twists of history.
The American communists were a real danger to our way of life. They praised the biggest killer in human history, the Russian leader Joe Stalin. They shared American secrets with our enemies. And they brainwashed American youth with the ideas of the communist revolution.
Senator McCarthy (and Roy Cohn, of course) did a very important job of trying to stop the communist insurgence.
Instead of telling us the real story of that fight, the creators of this movie presented the viewer with a cheap and vulgar caricature. It is hard for me to understand how a superb actor like James Woods would sign up for such a piece of crap! This film is squalor in all categories!
