GIULIANI TIME

Most hold few, if any criticisms to Giuliani, like Bush early after 9-11, thanks to the portrait of leadership he offered in the wake of the attacks. This movie reverses history and takes us back through his honest history, without bias, without being one-sided, and with a strong and clean focus. There are few deviations. We are reminded of a man who came up with very strong beliefs and faith in his government, who helped put a series of white-collar criminals behind bars, who supported the police.
The title itself refers to what police called raping a detainee with a plunger handle, and the film vividly recounts an unarmed man shot 41 times by Giuliani’s overzealous police. It’s all portrayed here, starkly, without an overbearing narrator and pushing the occasional other side of the issue through supporters of Giuliani, all in all positing a very strong and heartfelt picture.

Giuliani time suffers no narrators and gets straight to the heart of a
series of informative pieces about the former mayor of New York and
potential presidential hopeful.
The only thing this movie lacks is a strong narrative, as I point out
above, which, while great for a lack of bias and informational schew,
also gives it a distinctive lack of personality.
Still a very strong showing, and worth at least a watch through rental,
if not an out-and-out purchase. I’m sure this will be a vital resource
if Giuliani runs for president.
