A great script and a great cast are key to Juror #2, a gripping moral study dressed up as a courtroom drama.

Another of Eastwood’s inquiries into the nature of justice, the limits of the legal system to attain it, and the possible need, in that case, to take matters into one’s own hands.

Sure, Juror #2 appears to be yet another polished, predictable courtroom drama; the kind we got a lot of during the ’90s. But thanks to Eastwood and first-time screenwriter Jonathan A Abrams, it’s a deeply involving and thought-provoking new spin on the genre, which serves up a ripe moral quandary that goes deeper than anything John Grisham ever managed.

In what may be his final film, nonagenarian auteur Clint Eastwood has crafted a solid, old-fashioned courtroom drama with “Juror #2.” Always known for his efficiency as a filmmaker, Eastwood brings that same brisk energy to this suspenseful piece of storytelling.

It's considerably elevated by strong performances and some excellent directorial and cinematographic choices, but it ultimately is undone by details and narrative pivots that don't work.

While it’s nice to see Toni Colette and Chris Messina face off both in and out of the courtroom and Zoey Deutch gives a strong dramatic performance as Ally, even the best acting can’t make Juror #2 make sense.

This is an impressive, powerful meditation on the weight of conscience & the sometimes blurred line between right and wrong. Eastwood once again proves his mastery of the thriller genre, delivering a film that is as unsettling as it is thought-provoking.

Implausible but entertaining thanks to the caliber of the lead actors. Supporting actors are the scenery which is a problem if you give them too many lines. The tone of the film is dire and high stakes with virtually no humor. But the ambiguity of the ending is not without merit.

Very mediocre movie. Absolutely preposterous events with nonsensical legal garbage on top. And it's unsatisfying. Yet, I get what the movie is saying... and it's mildly entertaining to contemplate the dilemma.

Do you remember both from the Hip? Combine this and 12 Angry Men and you have Juror #2. I think there may be some good will for Nicholas Holt here, who is very competent and likeable, but the plot is all over the place either no good resolution. I kept waiting for the big gotcha promised by the plot, but it never came. I kept going to my phone and even with long periods of inattentiveness I never felt lost in the bland whodunit.

Mr Eastwood does it again - painfully telegraphing and editorializing information that should/could be communicated more simply (visuals or just once at least). The film also makes bizarre editing choices and is just plain annoying, for example, witness gives testimony about seeing something to defense BUT two ridiculous things happen next. Judge recesses rather than letting prosecutor cross and... we NEVER get to see this. I am no lawyer but there are so many moments in this film that had me smacking my head in disbelief that it would happen during a trial. And the way the jurors behave toward one another in the juror room, yeah, that just would not happen. And on, and on... + the ending, don't get me started.
