Runaway Jury

Posted On May 5, 2005

John Grisham movie starring John Cusack as a juror and Rachel Weisz who isn’t on the jury and they are both trying to manipulate a court trial being run by Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman.

It was better in parts than I expected because I did like the twist and I figured it out right before it happened. I didn’t like the heavy-handedness of the themes though, which is what I worried I wouldn’t like before I watched this movie. If John Cusack wasn’t in the movie, it could have been incredibly stupid. He made it much better.
