Steven t I gave it this score solely on the strength of the actors. The story, while good is Implausible in this day and age. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Jace E 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" Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review Phillip D 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. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review mike f Great cast and acting in another movie made from. Grishman novel. The king of courtroom dramas Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Ted B 3.5 stars; I really love John Grisham's books (should have been a lawyer). 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! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Alejandro E The familiar debate on the free carrying of firearms feels light, and the plot, reduced to near-comedy level. And that's its biggest flaw, as it doesn't make the most of Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman (RIP). Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
