Juror #2 did not deserve the release that it got in theaters from Warner Bros. Discovery. To say that it was barely put out there would be an understatement. The film from Clint Eastwood, yes, the Clint Eastwood who has made WB plenty of money over the years, released in less than 100 theaters worldwide. Now, it is heading to Digital formats on December 3rd and Blu-ray and DVD on February 4th. It stars Nicholas Hoult (upcoming Superman, The Menu), Oscar nominee Toni Collette (upcoming Mickey 17, The Sixth Sense), Oscar winner J.K. Simmons (Whiplash), and Kiefer Sutherland (Designated Survivor, 24), and also features Chris Messina (Air, Based on a True Story), Gabriel Basso (The Night Agent), Zoey Deutch (The Politician, Zombieland: Double Tap), Cedric Yarbrough (Unfrosted), Leslie Bibb (Palm Royale, Tag), Amy Aquino (Bosch) and Adrienne C. Moore (Orange Is the New Black).
“Juror #2” follows family man Justin Kemp (Hoult) who, while serving as a juror in a high-profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma…one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict—or free—the accused killer.
Here’s what we had to say about Juror #2 in our review.
The pacing and unraveling of the narrative are the strongest portions of Juror #2. As it goes on, the story of the night of October 25th comes into view for all to see. You also get to see the fog of justice roll in as preconceived notions fly about both sides of this story. If this is Clint Eastwood’s actual swan song for filmmaking, it’s not an explosive one, but one that’ll make you think about our own humanity and what that means in the eyes of the law.
