Clint Eastwood's Thrilling Masterpiece
Directed by Clint Eastwood, this 114-minute film is a must-see. The anti-art establishment at Warner Bros/Discovery made a conscious decision to bury this latest work from one of the most successful directors of all time. But Clint Eastwood is still delivering solid films for grown-ups, well into his nineties. In this excellent little thriller, Nicholas Hoult shines as a juror who discovers a shocking secret. With a great supporting cast including Toni Collette, Chris Messina, Zoey Deutch, and J.K. Simmons, this movie is a thoroughly entertaining piece of work that deserves a better fate than the one to which WBD tried to sentence it.
The story keeps you on the edge of your seat as the juror's life takes a turn he never expected. It's a testament to Eastwood's talent that he can still create such a captivating film in his later years. This is a movie that will leave you thinking long after the credits roll.
