The film has had a somewhat modest run in theaters, although most critics have liked it, and now it arrives on Max to continue delighting audiences with a story in the purest Eastwood style. But is it really worth watching?
A unique moral dilemma in cinema
Although it may not be one of the most memorable films of his career, Jury No. 2 undoubtedly has all the ingredients that make Eastwood’s cinema great. The story centers on Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult), a juror who faces an ethical dilemma when he discovers that he might be the real culprit of a crime he is judging. Throughout the film, we as the audience question whether he truly has anything to do with this case or not, and we delve into his mind to determine what would be best in this situation. Undoubtedly, it is a tough film filled with moral dilemmas… something that Eastwood excels at.
