Runaway Jury
It’s time for another John Grisham movie. This time, it looks really cool, though. It stars a bunch of name actors who’ve already been in a half-dozen movies this year. OK, that’s just Rachel Weisz — and even that’s only four movies. Still, she’s everywhere, isn’t she?
It looks like a great set-up. As Gene Hackman puts it in the trailer, “Trials are too important to be left up to juries.” And so the fix is in. How do you buy a jury? How do you blackmail one? Yes, it’s horribly cynical. Yes, the trailer makes it look like the movie is going to end with another big action piece instead of a smart one. So be it. It looks cool, and it stars Gene Hackman and Jon Cusack. That’s good enough for me.
You can see the trailer right about here.
