"Runaway Jury" is about a ruthless jury consultant (Gene Hackman) with no scruples doing whatever it takes to win against a sympathetic and tenacious lawyer (Dustin Hoffman) in a case that throws the issue of gun control in America in the air. Nicholas Easter (John Cusack) is a New Orleans native chosen to be one of the 11 jury members in the case. His motive is to extort, with the help of partner Marly (Rachel Weisz), $$millions with the promise of swaying enough jurors into delivering a favorable verdict for the gun company. Or is he?
From the very beginning I was hooked with the set-up for the trial, the jury selection, everything. This movie flowed so well that by the time it was over, I couldn't believe that two hours had gone by. It was just incredible.
Runaway Jury is a great thriller with good drama, lots of twists and turns and suspense. A real nail biter in some scenes!
