Giorgio G @GioBlob Jul 3 I can't understand that it took me such a long time to finally watch this movie. I guess it just escaped me because the title in Portuguese is identical to another older movie which I simply didn't care to watch again. Thus said, I finally had the chance and I was flabbergasted. It's a masterpiece which leaves everything pretty open till very close to the end, and even then it has a surprise up its sleeves. Though it starts out like so many other court cases, it is in fact a thriller about how to manipulate one and illegally force the decision one way or the other. Gene and John are just perfect, and the ending is way better than one could ever imagine. 8/10 points! See more Steven t @SST609 May 26 I gave it this score solely on the strength of the actors. The story, while good is Implausible in this day and age. See more Jace E @thefilmguy May 21 Runaway Jury has a solid amount of courtroom suspense and the premise is interesting. The cast is great and there are some great performances across the board, particularly from John Cusack. There were a lot of characters that seemed underutilized (i.e., the opposing attorney, the jury consultant for the plaintiff, etc.). The twist was strong and I enjoyed the end of the film, but there were a few loose ends I would have liked buttoned up (Marlee's mom). Best Character: Nicholas Easter Best Quote: "If you're relying on testimony to win this case, you've already lost it. Fella." - Finch Best Scene: The Verdict Best Piece of Score: "Runaway Jury" See more Phillip D @phildub Apr 21 At first I thought, this is a John Grisham story. How great?! And then I looked up Brian Koppelman. I didn’t realize I was also a fan of his writing. Not bad to have a good screenplay writer adapt a good writer’s book. Cast was great, acting just ok. Maybe just rushed, I’m not sure. Directing and producing not strong. See more mike f @Mick51 Mar 25 Great cast and acting in another movie made from. Grishman novel.

For the most part, the movies captured the spirit of his books, as was the case with "Runaway Jury." For its time, it introduced all the sophisticated technology that went into jury selection for most successful lawyers. Director Gary Fleder converted the story into an action-suspense movie, for the most part successfully. I guess the biggest complaint about the movie was that, for an all-star cast, the acting effort did not satisfy. Up to a point, I can agree with that. However, that did not detract from the suspense that was generated. The technology, while somewhat dated by today's standards, was pretty awesome for the early 2000s. I enjoyed it!
