:ho I like these things, just goood btw check my pics at tinyurl.com/isabellagie

A solid courtroom thriller with all the right ingredients and some good performances from Cusack, Hoffman and Hackman. Neatly written and entertaining to watch, courtroom dramas/thrillers weren't usually my thing but i changed my opinion after seeing this movie.

A very solid legal thriller bolstered by wonderful performances from its distinguished cast.

I feel like all the John Cusack movies nowadays seem to be pushing some sort of agenda. Take for example 2012, or this movie. The gun company that was accused was put in a bad light and they all seemed cold and calculating, whereas the prosecution was just doing the right thing and standing up for the grieving wife. Right. I found myself siding with the prosecution before I even knew what was going on. I don't like movies that I feel like it tries to shove the message down your throat, and this one wasn't too bad, but it could've been better near the end.

This movie was a good movie, if you don't care about the bias. I liked it a lot. Good drama.

All the elements of a perfect movie!

Cast: The Antagonist is Gene Hackman (Superman) whom play a lawyer. (Class Action) need I say more?

The Protagonist is Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man) he plays his opposing counsel. (Kramer Vs Kramer.) I am thinking so far so good.

The central character is played by John Cusack. He will Say Anything to get on the jury and sway it his way.

The Female Lead is the adorable Rachel Weisz. All I have to say to that I Want You to be Going all the way with me before The Mummy Returns.


Grade A+


The plot: It is about manipulation and surprise. I can not imagine any courtroom drama more supreme than that. You will be guessing up until the end and still have you jaw on the floor by the end of the two hour and two minute drama.

Grade A+


The Author: John Gresham. What paper back writer is a better author of court room dramas than he.

Grade A+

Overall Grade A+

Very good drama with the right amount of twist.

Runaway Jury

Excellent movie with great performances from the entire all-star cast. Suspenseful and entertaining throughout. Especially interesting if you are intrigued about law and justice. Completely recommended.

7.1/10

Essentially, "Runaway Jury" is a moderate court room thriller made better by great actors. That's all I have to say in this one. Really. I watched this thing, like 6 months ago and have forgotten most of it already.
