Juror #2 (2024)
6/10
Courtroom drama too full of holes & unresolved ambiguities to be anywhere near the genre's best
12 December 2024
In courtroom drama "Juror #2" Nicholas Hoult is on a jury (with JK Simmons, Leslie Bibb & others) at a trial where Toni Collette is prosecuting a death that it transpires Hoult may be more involved in than even he realised at the outset. With Clint Eastwood directing (albeit moderately) and the likes of Kiefer Sutherland & Zoey Deutch supporting, it smacks of a typically polished genre entry, on which debut writer Jonathan Abrams tries putting an original twist - that he fails to pull off with a screenplay too full of holes & unresolved ambiguities (many folk will HATE the ending - despite it summing up the film's whole point). It is brave, but it falls way short of the genre's best.
