Although not the point of this fascinating and engaging documentary, hearing from and about the infamous New York lawyer and political power broker will give you some insight to the mindset of Donald Trump — not that you really want to know more about the man. (The title of film is a Trump quote; once you see this film you’ll understand well what it means.) From his days as counsel to the communist-hunting U.S. senator Joseph McCarthy, to his public posturing against homosexuals (while never admitting he was one), to his role as one of Trump’s many, many lawyers, Cohn is both fascinating and revolting. His legacy — which includes the strategy of attack, attack and attack some more, and never, ever, back down — unfortunately, lives on.
