After a workplace shooting in New Orleans, a trial against the gun manufacturer pits lawyer Wendell Rohr against shady jury consultant Rankin Fitch, who uses illegal means to stack the jury with people sympathetic to the defense.

2025 - Gene Hackman passed away

I watched this movie in feb-march 2025, after Gene Hackman's death. Such a good actor, simply wow!The simplicity, but still. The actors, the times.2003 was such a good year for this kind of a movie. Only 22 years, but it's like forever.I've never seen a movie like this before. Very interesting, well done, a real classic in our days.Netflix suggested me this movie in memoriam Gene Hackman and it was so nice. I watched thinking about how life is so fragile. Today you are big star, tommorow you are found dead in your house, after a coupe of weeks. I'm really sorry about his death, but 95 yo?! Good man.Rest in peace, Gene!

Missed Opportunity

This film deviates from the Grisham novel and, as a result, suffers slightly. A story about the manipulation of juries is a good idea, but the film is about the gun industry so it muddies the water, wavering between jury issues and product manufacturing issues and the politics of gun rights.Still, there is a stellar cast. John Cusack and Rachel Weisz play interesting characters. Their motives are not revealed until late in the story. Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman, as opposing forces, are fun to watch, though Hoffman employs a southern accent that puts a little too much "Tootsie" in his role; I found it somewhat distracting.For a look at how better to adapt a Grisham story, see "The Firm", also with Hackman.
