Richard Jewell

Drama

Directed by Clint Eastwood

Richard Jewell thinks quick, works fast, and saves hundreds, perhaps thousands, of lives after a domestic terrorist plants several pipe bombs and they explode during a concert, only to be falsely suspected of the crime by sloppy FBI work and sensational media coverage. From TMDB

    HOT TAKE: if it weren't for TRUE CRIME and RICHARD JEWELL and WHITE HUNTER BLACK HEART, MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD & EVIL would be Clint Eastwood's most underrated film! Potentially! Depending on individual taste!

    When they made a film about Richard Jewell, Clint Eastwood invented a fictional female reporter who's sleeping with the head FBI agent and is solely responsible for Jewell being blamed for the attack by them.

    'Richard Jewell' is a hell of a movie, I had no idea, and Paul Walter Hauser—who I did not know by name before now—is an incredible actor. Eastwood is a turd, but man, that guy can direct.

    One underrated dynamic with Trump is how he effective sucks up all the oxygen on creating conservative culture and art.

    Richard Jewell!! Eastwood is such a wonderful director with my favorite methods, his leanings taint a bit but I LOVED THIS MOVIE. Paul Walter Hauser gave one of the best performances of the last decade. Says a lot about even a small bit of incompetence in the federal government being a DISASTER.
