Rudy - The Rudolph Giuliani Story (Wide Screen)
Rudy - The Rudolph Giuliani Story (Wide Screen)
Stars: James Woods, Penelope Ann Miller, Michelle NoldenDirector: Robert Dornhelm
Summary: The life and times of the man who was Mayor of New York on September 11th, 2001, starting in the early 1980s when he was a New York district attorney up to the time he was transformed into a pillar of strength for a disheartened world.
After tragedy strikes New York on the 11th September 2001, the city looks for leadership in its previously controversial mayor, Rudolf Giuliani. Giuliani (James Woods) throws off the shackles of political scandal and personal struggle and becomes the central focus for a grieving world. This film is the first to dramatise the events of 9/11 and portrays the mayor as a courageous individual who led New York and the world through grief and turmoil.

With an outstanding performance by James Woods, Rudy: The Rudolph Giuliani Storyis a warts-and-all portrait of New York City's lame-duck mayor, who rose from political disfavour to unexpected heights of heroism and leadership in the wake of September 11, 2001. Originally broadcast on the USA Network and based on Wayne Barrett's muckraking biography, it's a condensed, Cliff's Notes rendition of Giuliani's political career, with each commercial break serving as a chapter stop, beginning on the eve of 9/11 and alternating past and present highlights from Giuliani's rise to power.
The film offers an unflinching portrait of a devoted public servant who's as fallible as he is competent: his wife (Penelope Ann Miller) understandably suffers while extramarital affairs and political fearlessness are all seen as by-products of Giuliani's compulsion to improve the city he loves. As Robert Dornhelm's clunky direction combines actual news footage with exacting recreations of 9/11 and its aftermath, Woods' charismatic performance wisely avoids mimicry to show us a flawed but noble man who, in the final analysis, deserves our conditional respect. --Jeff Shannon
