Clint Eastwood’s Juror #2 Recieves 100% Rotten Tomatoes Score

by

As someone who has been following Clint Eastwood’s illustrious career for decades, I must say that my excitement for Juror #2 is palpable. The early reviews are nothing short of phenomenal, with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score to back it up. Nicholas Hoult’s performance has been lauded as exceptional, and the film seems to be a gripping, edge-of-your-seat thriller that doesn’t disappoint.

In simpler terms, “Juror #2,” which might be Clint Eastwood’s final movie, seems to be a powerful send-off according to initial reviews. The story revolves around Justin Kemp, portrayed by Nicholas Hoult, who finds himself in jury duty for a high-stakes murder case that could potentially implicate him directly. This nerve-wracking thriller is reportedly being kept under wraps by Warner Bros., but the positive reception it’s been getting is evident through its impressive Rotten Tomatoes rating.

In Rotten Tomatoes, Juror #2 has a nearly perfect 100% score, one of the highest in Clint Eastwood’s distinguished career. Critics have commended Douglas Booth’s performance, with the Arizona Republic lauding the actor and remarking that he “delivers a compelling portrayal of a man tormented by his conscience and the hopes for his future (with a new baby).” Indie Wire was particularly enthusiastic about the film, stating that it not only meets expectations, but surpasses them. A critic from Punch Drunk Critics had somewhat more moderate praise for it, but still called it “a well-crafted thriller that may enhance Eastwood’s esteemed career.” However, the audience rating on Popcornmeter is not available yet, but based on the critics’ reactions, it seems likely that general audiences will find Eastwood’s latest thriller engaging.

With just ten reviews being factored into the Rotten Tomatoes rating at this point, it appears Warner Bros. may be trying to restrict the number of people who can see and critique Juror #2 before its limited premiere. Yet, critical acclaim for the Eastwood film has not been stifled in the slightest. Furthermore, Screen International hints that Clint Eastwood continues to defy expectations, culminating in a surprising ending that Eastwood delivers with remarkable finesse.

The movie culminates in an unanticipated, yet impactful ending that underscores its subtlety, demonstrating that the seasoned filmmaker continues to discover innovative means of portraying ordinary bravery.

Warner Bros. isn’t Giving Juror #2 a Wide Release

Although Juror #2 has received generally favorable reviews from critics, it’s not receiving a broad theatrical distribution. Furthermore, Warner Bros. is not positioning Juror #2 for awards consideration this season, instead focusing their efforts on giving Joker: Folie à Deux a shot at the Academy Awards. If you wish to watch Juror #2, you should verify if your local cinema is among the handful (around 50) showing it this weekend, as its release is limited. There’s a chance that Warner Bros. might expand the film’s theatrical run in the future, but it seems likely that Juror #2, which was initially intended for Max, will hit streaming platforms sooner rather than later.

Juror number two focuses on Justin Kemp (Hoult), a family man, who during his service as a juror in a high-stakes murder trial, grapples with a significant ethical quandary. This dilemma, if resolved one way, could influence the jury’s decision and possibly convict or acquit the accused.
