0:03
yeah juror number two is presumably the
0:07
last film from Clint Eastwood
0:11
unfortunately um Clint Eastwood has had
0:18
and his directing chops of late have
0:22
been um not quite sure but this film
0:32
as a man in recovery he he's a recover a
0:38
recovering alcoholic who cleaned up his
0:40
life met a woman that he loves and he is
0:43
going to be a proud father very soon he
0:47
gets picked as a jur to be on this case
0:50
and his wife is due in a few weeks he
0:53
really does not want to be involved in a
0:55
high-profile trial but unfortunately he
0:58
is while his wife is you know in the
1:04
pregnancy so Justin Kemp is the
1:08
character that Nicholas Holt plays JK
1:11
Simmons is also one of the members of
1:14
the jury Christmas Cena plays a public
1:17
defender and kefir Sutherland is Kemp's
1:21
AA uh AA friend uh console Tony Colette
1:27
plays a prosecutor in a high-profile
1:29
murder case yes a young couple at a bar
1:33
getting a fight she she walks away and
1:37
he drives off and suddenly her body the
1:40
next day is found dead in a creek by a
1:45
bridge so Nicholas Hol uh his character
1:48
Justin Kemp is on this so that's the
1:50
setup murder trial high-profile on
1:54
social media they were in love but in a
1:56
fit of passion right it's presumed he
2:02
girlfriend but Nicholas Holt's character
2:04
Justin as he's seeing the details of a
2:07
case of the case he has a vague
2:12
memory of driving about a year ago and
2:19
deer but it might not have been a
2:23
deer did he accidentally kill this
2:27
woman is the man that is on trial
2:31
actually innocent and Justin is now
2:35
watching as the evidence comes out could
2:38
he have been the one who killed this
2:41
girl and that's where this turns into uh
2:45
it's like it's a a really good trial
2:48
story and I'll say it kind of has shades
2:52
of Hitchcock you know a man that is
2:56
being pursued it's got that Hitchcock
3:00
so first half of the movie I'm all in I
3:04
mean it's really good thriller it's the
3:09
Nicholas Holt I've always loved he plays
3:11
Lex Luther in the upcoming Superman he
3:15
is of course in the um uh Mad Max Fury
3:18
Road witness he's in a new movie as a
3:22
white supremacist called the order
3:24
opening in December which I have also
3:26
seen and he's always been just an
3:29
amazing actor Beast of course in Hank
3:31
McCoy yeah yeah I I I really love
3:34
Nicholas Holt as an actor and he does
3:36
his best with the script in this so
3:39
while it aspires to be this hitchcockian
3:42
a man trapped questioning himself stuck
3:45
on a jury uh the second half of the
3:48
movie which of course I won't say
3:49
anything about kind of falls apart and
3:52
it really does feel like a very
3:55
traditional police procedural a TV this
3:58
is a this is a scaming movie that
4:01
happened to get a very limited
4:04
theatrical release now the budget for
4:08
million um so it's a by Studio standards
4:12
it's a lowbudget movie with an undercook
4:16
script but my God that first half of the
4:19
film where it feels it has that
4:21
Hitchcock feel really good but in the
4:26
end uh felt very and then and then the
4:29
the very ending is not satisfying that's
4:33
all I'll say but Solid
4:36
cast solid setup for a story weak script
4:41
in the end and there's really no
4:43
discernable directing flare like I said
4:47
this is a like a TV movie procedural
4:51
with very good actors a solid concept
4:55
with uh a script that doesn't pay off in
4:58
the end so so gets a probably Pro I
5:02
can't really recommend it but if you
5:05
like this type of movie MH you know the
5:08
jury itself like I saw it in a theater
5:10
in the afternoon people were laughing
5:12
some lines in the script were just
5:15
dumb but it started off so good but
5:19
ultimately disappoint so I can't
5:21
recommend it I would have given it a
5:24
bare recommend if it it stuck The
5:26
Landing it did not so Clint would final
5:32
dud I mean it's like if you're saying
5:34
that the first half is a Hitchcock movie
5:37
then they should have made the second
5:39
half a Hitchcock movie right yeah right
5:42
am I right the way you're describing it
5:44
is yeah it is very hitchock in but um
5:48
yeah you need like a bizarre ending uh
5:52
the the only way Hitchcock could do it
5:54
uh and we talked also before about
5:57
Warner Brothers bearing this film I mean
5:59
it's only playing in Burbank right now
6:00
so I can't even see it unless I head up
