Richard Jewell

Un film che non teme di nascondere molte verità nel mondo reale. Una bella riproduzione di una storia vera.

A Classic Drama. Was kind of torn wether to give this a 4.5 or 5. Music is good but not used much and very barebones stuff. It would've been nice to see something more catchy. The acting is easily the highlight.Paul Hauser, Sam Rockwell, and Kathy Bates are phenominal in this. Rockwell is the best. Him Hauser together on screen have really good chemistry. Everything else is really good. Eastwood's direction is really strong here. It's as much a legal drama as it is a personal biopic as well. Once the investigation starts it feels like to a degree stuff can kind of just happen a bit. The media circus, the investigation by the FBI, his relationship with Rockwell, his Mom, and the scenes witht he reporter can all be a bit muddled but still really well done. The other issue is the way Scruggs is portrayed is almost cartoonish and over the top in terms of being the villian and the FBI. Hamm is alright as the agent but kind of one note and dull. The 'villians" in general are probably the weakest scenes in the film. And we already know he didn't do it as the film shows so it's less about figuring out who did vs. showing the fallout. It's not as suspencful is that makes sense. That being said this has great commentary on the media and the effect it can have on the legal process and how a wrong man can get freight trained. It also does a great job portarying a very complicated and interesting character as well. Anyone who wants to know more abou the 96' bombing, fan of any actors in this, the director, dramas, or legal flicks should check this out.

Filme muito bom! Vale a pena assistir!!!

An entertaining legal drama that can often be hard to watch, but is carried by its performances (especially Sam Rockwell) and touching ending.

It's simplified a lot, but still a great story based on the real life events.

Richard Jewell - 7.5/10. Clint Eastwood has had an illustrious career in Hollywood. Richard Jewell happens to be his latest directorial film, and it happens to be his best work in years. Based on the Atlanta Olympics closing ceremony incident, the film follows the title character and the media attention that is shone upon him because of his heroic actions. Paul Walter Hauser, who was terrific in I, Tonya, delivers a similarly terrific portrayal of the good intentioned but well picked on Richard. He delivers great range in terms of showing how Richard goes through the emotions as the media turns against him once he is investigated as a suspect. He doesn't show extreme emotions or rises in voice, but he subtly shows the effects that the attention has on him and his loving mother, played terrifically by Kathy Bates. She is the emotional anchor for the film, with so much range and maximum effort in terms of portraying distraught emotions. Sam Rockwell, who plays the lawyer that decides to help his former coworker in Richard delivers a great performance as well, helping deliver a surprising amount of comedy towards the dramatic proceedings. Jon Hamm and Olivia Wilde also give solid performances as the films antagonistic characters. The movie really banks on the performances of the main characters, as the story is pretty straightforward and predictable. Outside of some sequences, Richard Jewell is an overall solid film. It's not a movie that will sweep award season, but it's definitely one of the better movies of 2019. A good based on a trues tory film!

Excellent film. Loved it. Paul Walter Hauser is amazing. Nothing super exciting that gets your blood pumping or anything, just a great story. It doesn’t lag at all and feels shorter than it’s run-time because you get drawn in.

A movie that hurts to watch, all the injustice from the law enforcement against one dude, it’s so frustrating, Mr. Eastwood brings a great movie, with a great ensamble. Kudos to Sam Rockwell and amazing job.

Really quality movie. This is a fascinating story. I thought the cast did a great job and Eastwood directed it in a way that made it fly by and never feel like it was dragging. Give it a watch, really good.

Some of the fictionalized elements seem unnecessarily lurid which sort of undercuts some of the point being made. Still the movie's perspective, about how narratives are constructed regardless of the facts, is an important one.
