Controversial Movies Poll #11: Runaway Jury

[Bartwald]

Three stars for me. Which is better than proposed in most reviews I've read.

I'm not a fan of John Grisham the writer, and I don't think than any movie based on his book is truly genius; however, I quite liked The Firm and A Time To Kill. Runaway Jury is third Grisham-based film that satisfies me. Let's be honest, though: it's mainly thanks to the Dustin Hoffman/Gene Hackman duo; their scenes are naturally powerful, with sparks of acting genius flying all around. John Cusack and Rachel Weisz are cute too, but the film would be lacking if it wasn't for Gene and Dustin.

I haven't seen it the entire way through, but what I saw was really good.

[Bartwald]

In fact, the closer to the ending the better it gets.

[LivingDeadGirl]

I really liked this movie, but like Bart said, Hackman & Hoffman made it.

[Heineken Skywalker]

That's one more "Really good" vote. Not genius and a little farfetched if you stop to think about it, but I can't say that it didn't suck me into it's story. Hackman & Hoffman were of course great. Hadn't seen a good courtroom drama/thriller in a while.
