Just finished watching The Runaway Jury for the second time this week. That tells you right away how much we liked this film. I can't say much about the plot without spoiling it for you, but it unfolds beautifully with one surprise after another. There's a coherence and moral depth to the film that makes it a 4 star plus. Dustin Hoffman is magnificent. The whole cast does a great job.
Ha! I just found out it was written by John Grisham. This wasn't obvious in the film introduction. Probably I'm the last in the world to know this. I've read Grisham for years but not right when the novels first come out. They cost too much for a quick reading thrill. This does explain, though, why the film is so good. It's clever, fast paced, and relevant to current social concerns. That Dustin Hoffman, though, really makes it superb.
