Movie Reviews of Runaway Jury (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: The Best Acting You'll See!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never read the book and I understand people not being happy if the movie is different than the book but you can't deny the great acting which is what makes this movie so great. I am really surprised this movie is not more popular than what it is. This is one of my favorite movies. The acting is real and the movie is intense. The movie makes what would seem like such a unbelievable story seem very possible. This is certainly one of the most edge of your seat trial movies made. If you're a fan of terrific acting, this movie is for you. When the movie was over, it left me wanting more. I wanted to see another showdown trial between Hoffman & Hackman, these guys define the role of acting!
Summary of Runaway Jury (Widescreen Edition)
From master storyteller John Grisham and the director of Don't Say A Word comes a taut suspense-thriller that "grabs hold of you and never lets go" (Philadelphia Metro). In their first film together, screen legends Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman face off in this electrifying nail-biter about a ruthless jury consultant who'll do anything to win. With lives and millions of dollars at stake, the fixer plays a deadly cat-and-mouse game with a jury member (John Cusack) and a mysterious woman (Rachel Weisz) who offer to "deliver" the verdict to the highest bidder. Packed with danger, intrigue and pulse-pounding twists and turns, Runaway Jury rules!Based on the bestseller by John Grisham, Runaway Jury is a slick thriller that's exciting enough to overcome the gaps in its plot. The ultimate target has been changed: Grisham's legal assault on the tobacco industry was switched to the hot-button issue of gun control (no doubt to avoid comparison to The Insider) in a riveting expos? of jury-tampering. Gene Hackman plays the ultra-cynical, utterly unscrupulous pawn of the gun-makers, using an expert staff and advanced electronics to hand-pick a New Orleans jury that will return a favorable verdict; Dustin Hoffman (making his first screen appearance with real-life former roommate Hackman) defends the grieving widow of a gun-shooting victim with idealistic zeal, while maverick juror John Cusack and accomplice Rachel Weisz play both ends against the middle in a personal quest to hold gun-makers accountable. It's riveting stuff, even when it's obvious that Grisham and director Gary Fleder have glossed over any details that would unravel the plot's intricate design. --Jeff Shannon
