Juror #2

i really enjoyed it - was this the best courtroom drama I've ever seen? no. but the story wasn't really about that... the story was about juror #2 & the moral dilemma he was facing. i thought it was a fairly fresh take on the subject matter & really quite thought provoking. i do wish, from an entertainment standpoint, that the ending had been different (see spoiler below), but overall I thought it was well done & would absolutely recommend it. <spoiler> I wish there had been a little bit of a twist. how effective would it have been if juror #2 hears the case, questions his actions, assumes he was the killer, throws the case off by asking questions because he knows the defendant is innocent only to turn the case around & end up in jail himself - & THEN we find out he actually did only hit a deer & the defendant was in fact guilty the entire time, living a free life while juror #2 sits in his jail cell, innocent. tragedy makes people feel things & that would've been a tragic ending. instead - it just ends. exactly how they told you it would end from the very beginning.

Questo è un grande fil che come minimo avrebbe meritato la candidatura all'Oscar miglio film. È notevole come il finale non ti lasci indifferente come quello molti altri film. La regia anche quella avrebbe meritato come minimo la candidatura all'Oscar

Court room drama freak. Attention to detail is crucial and this case would never have gone to court! Detectives must have been on holiday. Poor!

Moral Dilemma!?!?! What else you need? It's really engaging bit slow, but I enjoyed.

Thoughtful writing and sometimes wrenching to the gut.

A very good movie with lots of facet of judicial system. Believable story and well acted.

Wow! Mystery and thriller at its best! Keep these coming.

Juror #2 is the epitome of a solidly made film, a film that is taut and tight and very entertaining. A throwback film perhaps, which is understandable as this is the latest film from iconic director Clint Eastwood. His newest film is a courtroom drama, that features a moral question. Justin is happily married in Savannah, Georgia, with his wife expecting a child soon. He has to attend jury duty though and he is selected, as Juror #2, for a murder trial. A man is alleged to have murdered his girlfriend 12 months ago and the jury is ready to convict him. But Justin isn't so sure. Mainly because on the night of her death he was out driving and his car hit something. He thought it was a deer, but it might have been the dead woman. So ensues a search for truth with him entangling the jury in the search. This film has no fat and makes us question our motives. The story rattles along quickly with a good cast giving their all. Nicholas Hoult is especially good as the troubled Justin. Another fine film from the great Clint Eastwood.

This movie had the potential to be a good one. It's obviously very close to 12 Angry Men and a couple other jury movies. The acting was pretty well done and the cast easily drew me in to their world. For all there is to like about the movie, there are some gaps. They spend about 90 minutes building it up, creating tension between characters, only to never resolve or even fully explore that tension. They leave the focal point of the trial as an afterthought. But my biggest pet peeve is the ending. We spend all this time in your world, your vision. Then you leave the ending up to our interpretation. Pass.
