Juror #2


PRAISE: Who really wants to go to jury duty? Sure if a person works a regular nine to five job they may get a break from that but your still stuck in some stuffy court room or small room for most of the day.
Right from the start Director Clint Eastwood and writer Jonathan Abrams pulled me in to this story about A juror for a high-profile murder trial finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma that could influence the verdict and potentially convict, or free, the accused killer because it's familiar and relatable. You have people making up flimsy and not so flimsy reasons to get picked as a juror and i did find myself amused by those scenes having been to jury duty at least four times. Then as the movie progressed and the characters became more developed, the jurors in particular try not to make the trial they are assigned go down a path of prejudices or make it personal. How do i separate my own feelings from an innocent person being murdered ? or something less sinister and more of a civil matter like a rent dispute? This is all played with in a great way. I enjoyed the performances from the entire cast who made their roles believable including: Nicholas Hoult · Justin Kemp ; Toni Collette · Faith Killebrew ; J.K. Simmons · Harold ; Kiefer Sutherland · Larry Lasker ; Zoey Deutch and Allison Crewson. There's some really good raw emotion on display throughout the film. I liked how the movie structured a couple of scenes in which I was thrown off for a bit about a particular character. Eastwood still has the mastery of unfolding a story that makes you pay attention.

PROBLEMS: Whether a person is sitting in a meeting or court room in which they are supposed to be paying attention there are times when there's a pause in what's being said especially if you are in the aforementioned for a long period of time,a mind can drift and start studying who's in the room. A few times when that comes into play in the movie it's ignored or plays out in a very weak way.

Scale of 1 to 10 a 7½
