| A great ride (by tazteamrpg) |
| This was a movie that wasn't over-hyped, filled with talented actors and kept you watching all the way through. My rating is maybe a little generous but at the time just after watching it was one of most enjoyable movies I have watched for a long time, and I watch a lot maybe too much ; Hackman was flawless as usual as an actor and once again maintained his great screen presence. Hoffman really portrayed the idealistic lawyer character well. Weisz played the female lead with the right mix of the strong and vulnerable. And Cusack, well I consider him an intelligent actor. He looked once <more> |
| Finally the gun manufacturers get their due (by geosits7) |
| This movie is one of my very favorite movies. The acting is excellent and the plot twists keep you guessing until the end! Furthermore, the subject matter is extremely important. With the US leading the world in gun deaths my own parents were murdered with a gun wielded by someone who should have never been legally allowed to own a gun , I applaud this movie as socially relevant to our times. So much so that it literally is a movie that makes me want to stand up and cheer even after several viewings! Deep and heartfelt thanks to all who worked on this film. Hollywood does occasionally come <more> |
| a gem from Gary Fleder (by PersianPlaya408) |
| Fleders film is a brilliantly directed picture depicting events based on a John Grisham novel. Although the story was changed considerably, the film did not lose its intrigue. With a great cast and a well written screenplay, Fleders film delivers on entertainment and content. The acting is first rate, my favorite performance came from Gene Hackman who played a great antagonist. Cusack was great although Hoffman was a bit wasted to me but nonetheless good. Guy Torry is a fantastic supporting actor and showed his good screen presence as he did in American History x. This film is entertaining, <more> |
| Taut Thriller with Some Nice Twists (by adam-236) |
| I must confess the main reason I adore this movie is because of Rachel Weisz, who is not only such a hottie in this film, but is absolutely perfect in her role as "Marlee". Oh, and John Cusack is very good as well. The plot is not straightforward and the twists keep this from degenerating into a formulaic trial movie. The tension builds steadily. Gene Hackman makes an excellent bad guy as the lawyer for the gun industry and there are several good supporting roles, especially that of Bruce Mc Gill, as the judge. The only black mark on the film is Dustin Hoffman, who is either badly <more> |
| A pretty good movie with an excellent cast. (by traderdean56) |
| This movie is a favorite of mine. But, and I find it quite interesting, the BOOK is quite different from the Movie. Big Tobacco Book vs. The Gun Manufacturers Movie . Otherwise, I think the movie was done quite well. And they used the strong points to really accentuate the various differences between the two. Even the music I thought was done well. Using New Orleans instead of Biloxi, MS. was probably a good move to put the topic into the emotional thoughts of mainstream city dwellers. No offense meant to Biloxi residents either . Rachel Weisz made a good Marley, but the book always <more> |
| Top notch fairy tale with good intentions (by Extinctive) |
| As unrealistic a fairy tale as this is, the acting, cinematography, action-scenes and tasteful score are flat-out superb! The message it beams out is a very warm one; Love and truth will conquer over gun-fights and lies, and money should not be the goal, but a tool to achieve good things at most. I found it sad and predictable to see those NRA people trying to put this movie down on weak far fetched arguments, even out here on IMDb they seem to get paid for it. Of course this story is opposing all war-mongering we know from real life, but that's not why this movie was made. It is meant to <more> |
| Awesome Performances by Hackman, Cusack, Hoffman & Weisz. (by BigHardcoreRed) |
| Not since Primal Fear have I seen a court room thriller that was really good. Given the actors, I suppose you can't really go wrong. Usually I can find some actor or actress that wasn't very good, bothered me in some way or was flat out horrible. This movie featured superb acting by all those involved. Even Jeremy Piven who I can't help but picture as the Dean in Old School or his characters from PCU or Very Bad Things delivered a respectable performance, and very different from the other movies mentioned.Runaway Jury doesn't throw in a lot of needless plot twists and <more> |
| One of the better Grisham-adaptations (by rbverhoef) |
| 'Runaway Jury' is one of the best movies based on a John Grisham novel. The best is still 'The Rainmaker', probably because Francis Ford Coppola was the director who could work with a perfect ensemble of actors. Other Grisham adaptations have had terrific ensembles as well. 'The Firm' 1993 starred Tom Cruise, Gene Hackman, Ed Harris, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Holly Hunter, 'A Time to Kill' did it with Samuel L. Jackson, Matthhew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Kevin Spacey, Donald Dutherland, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris Cooper, Oliver Platt and Ashley Judd, and <more> |
| Nice acting, smart screenplay make this sleek thriller quite enjoyable. (by shanfloyd) |
| I have read a few Grisham, but not this one. I must say, although the story is quite equipped with brilliant twists, it is basically a pretty idealistic story. But we do love this kind of idealism when it is used in such a smart fashion. I can't say about the quality of the book, but the film excels mainly because its brilliant screenplay and acting. Just look at the cast: Dustin Hoffman and John Cusack are awesome in their roles. And I just love to see Hackman playing the villain. The ravishingly beautiful Rachel Weisz only adds to the superiority of the whole cast's performances. <more> |
