Juror #2 - Starring Toni Colette - Clint Eastwood’s final movie

[FlyRy]

This was so mid to me. Kinda felt like a Lifetime movie. Messina’s character gotta be one of the WOAT defense attorneys I’ve seen in a movie.

The likelihood of a coroner failing to even consider a hit and run after a look at the victim’s body is slim, and that’s only one of the many things that didn’t make sense here. I get what Clint was going for with the overall message, but this moved a little too ridiculous for me.

I like legal flicks but this one was forgettable. Writing was bad and Eastwood is old af needs to give it up already.

This ish was solid but I think could have been written a whole lot better

Colette was very under utilised

Hey, you might want to cross-examine the ONE eyeball witness and ask how he could be certain of the guy’s identity when it was hundreds of feet away in the rain in the middle of the night.

Even if it was broad daylight, you’d question the eyesight of an old man. shyt was ridiculous

Dumbest jury ever. Worst defense lawyer of all time.

I've seen some documentaries about cases in the U.S where police + prosecution + jury make as dumb or even dumber mistakes than the ones showed in this movie. I'm legit curious why some of you reject the premise of a case being handled as badly as this one just because the prosecution needed it for political gain?

The movie in itself is pretty good but I felt it was too focused on telling us the guy wasn't guilty and that Nicholas Hault did the hit & run. People dismissing that theory or down right now caring about it would've hit much more if we were shown how much of a piece of shyt the accused was as part of that gang and how the politics of Connie Britton's characters played a big part on this as well. A couple of 30 seconds scenes with her campaigning didn't get the job done.

Agreed on the jurors being too much of a caricature. You can tell Clint wanted to say something with as little effort as possible

Plot and it's morale dilemma is very intriguing, shoulda kept J.K Simmons character around. Kind of lost some steam when he was thrown out

not bad. Not quite at the level of 12 Angry Men but still good

script was undoubtedly written in like 1989 and they just added a few cell phones to make it modern. it was ok.

Shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence. No pun.
