Runaway Jury

[NumberSix]

I ignored this the first time 'cos of the extremely shitty title. Made me think of Harisson Ford in The Fugative, or similar. Chanced up it on telly last night, and really enjoyed it. Fantastic cast, cracking plot (John fucking Grisham, amazingly) and all round good thing.

John Cusack (who's on the Jury) and Rachel Weisz team up to fix the jury in a massive gun lobby trial, extorting a large amount of cash out of whichever side is prepared to cough up the readies. Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman co-star.

Great plot pacing and excellent acting - if you enjoyed The Insider (which if you've got any sense you will have done), chances are you'll like this.

Better or worse than Runaway Bride?

[NumberSix]

Different. More shouting, for a start

Explosions?

Explosions?

Plenty of the verbal variety.

And Rachel Weisz is much hotter than Julia Roberts.

I really enjoyed Runaway Jury. Thought it was a good film, with some interesting twists.

A very typical John Grisham novel-2-film. Which is no bad thing... Very enjoyable. With the most obvious "twist" in the world ever at the end.
