How bizarre that most audiences will have to wait for the streaming debut to see Eastwood's film. But 'Juror No. 2' and its vanishing ilk scare studios today: Morally complex, smart fare that's made for adults. What should frighten Hollywood execs is comic book villains who sing showtunes, but I digress. This highlights the tension between sophisticated storytelling and contemporary cinematic trends, revealing a preference for more thoughtful narratives.
Even during the movie's sporadic moments of clunkiness, you're always tense, you're always thinking, you're always filled with a realistic dread. You're always wondering, 'Could this happen to me?' This quote captures the film's emotional intensity and its ability to provoke deep reflection on moral dilemmas and personal responsibility.
The man on trial is her violent, tatted boyfriend, James, who was witnessed arguing with her at a bar nearby. She stormed off down the street and he followed her. But, as the details of the case are revealed, paranoid Justin recalls that he hit something with his car on the very same road late that night.
The conundrum we wrestle with is a tricky one. Nicholas Hoult, an underrated actor who's one of his generation's finest, plays Justin, a jury member who begins to believe that he committed the crime - not the defendant.
