Movie Review: Runaway Jury

Gentlemen, trials are too important to be left up to juries.

This is one of the most memorable quotes taken from the movie, Runaway Jury. As you may tell from the quote, this movie is a Drama/Thriller. Is it ever thrilling. Let me tell you, it kept everyone guessing until the last second. This movie is so deep, you could watch it a hundred times and keep learning, after each viewing. Again I will try and leave spoilers out of this review. I would like to add, this movie is based off the novel “Runaway Jury”, written by John Grisham.

Basically, this movie is about a court case, in which, there is jury rigging going on. Also, both the prosecutor and defendant, are trying to be bought out by someone in the jury. Meaning that person will sway the jury votes to the highest bidder. This is portrayed superbly. As the movie goes along, everyone has difficult choices, of which they need to make. By making certain choices, they need to live through the consequences. That is about all I can say about the movie, without spoiling anything. And let me tell you, I could write for days, about spoilers in this movie. I will say again that this movie is very deep, so prepare to think.

I recommend this movie to everyone. It takes you through an unforgettable experience. There is no major downfall to this movie, that I can think of. Due to all of this, I give this movie:

Overall
4.5/5
