‘Juror #2’ Sets Streaming Release on Max

As a seasoned cinephile who has seen the sun set on more films than I can count, the upcoming release of “Juror #2” piques my interest like a well-crafted legal thriller should. With Clint Eastwood at the helm, it’s a cinematic event that promises to deliver a gripping tale of justice, morality, and perhaps a few unexpected twists.

“Juror #2” will stream exclusively on Max starting Dec. 20.

The courtroom thriller directed by Clint Eastwood, his 40th film as director and potentially his last, debuted at AFI Fest in October. Initially planned for a streaming release, Warner Bros. eventually released the movie in a limited cinema run of fewer than 50 theaters, an unusual strategy for such a commercially successful director.

The film stars Nicholas Hoult as a a “family man Justin Kemp who, while serving as a juror in a high profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma…one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict — or free — the accused killer.” The trailer shows Hoult’s character driving late at night and potentially hitting a deer that was in the road. However, a year later he’s called for jury duty about a murder case that he realizes may have a connection to his “deer” run-in.

In addition to the main characters, you’ll find actors such as Zoey Deutch, Toni Collette, award-winner J.K. Simmons, Chris Messina, Gabriel Basso, Cedric Yarbrough, Leslie Bibb, and Kiefer Sutherland in this production.

In his critique, film critic Peter DeBruge under the name EbMaster, states that this movie stands out in Clint Eastwood’s body of work. It falls into the category of his most serene films, eschewing grandeur for introspection. The suggestion can be made that the entire system is being scrutinized, but interestingly enough, it’s Eastwood himself who appears agitated rather than the jury members, as Dirty Harry concludes not with a dramatic explosion but a hesitant murmur.
