A great script and a great cast are key to Juror #2, a gripping moral study dressed up as a courtroom drama.
Another of Eastwood’s inquiries into the nature of justice, the limits of the legal system to attain it, and the possible need, in that case, to take matters into one’s own hands.

Sure, Juror #2 appears to be yet another polished, predictable courtroom drama; the kind we got a lot of during the ’90s. But thanks to Eastwood and first-time screenwriter Jonathan A Abrams, it’s a deeply involving and thought-provoking new spin on the genre, which serves up a ripe moral quandary that goes deeper than anything John Grisham ever managed.
In what may be his final film, nonagenarian auteur Clint Eastwood has crafted a solid, old-fashioned courtroom drama with “Juror #2.” Always known for his efficiency as a filmmaker, Eastwood brings that same brisk energy to this suspenseful piece of storytelling.
It’s an imperfect film that is intriguing until the end.
It's considerably elevated by strong performances and some excellent directorial and cinematographic choices, but it ultimately is undone by details and narrative pivots that don't work.
While it’s nice to see Toni Colette and Chris Messina face off both in and out of the courtroom and Zoey Deutch gives a strong dramatic performance as Ally, even the best acting can’t make Juror #2 make sense.
Pretty good for sure. I watched 12 Angry Men with my dad about a week before watching this and we were both like "Oh wait."It had creative bits to it for sure. Clint Eastwood is known to be a fan of film; so I am not surprised in the least that he decided to do a new/modernization of such a classic. The character archetypes being the same was kind of dull, even the 11-1 voting in the first few moments of the jury verdict. I did like in this rendition that there was more information and even visuals of the crime that occurred.I think nothing about the movie could have compared to its leader. There is still some very clear symbolism to ideas and issues within the justice system that I think the movie tries to stab at. Cool watch.

I think the script is exceptionally poor, with too many contrivances and coincidences to look past. Eastwood gets ok performances from the cast and is a legend for directing and producing this at 93+.

Do you remember both from the Hip? Combine this and 12 Angry Men and you have Juror #2. I think there may be some good will for Nicholas Holt here, who is very competent and likeable, but the plot is all over the place either no good resolution. I kept waiting for the big gotcha promised by the plot, but it never came. I kept going to my phone and even with long periods of inattentiveness I never felt lost in the bland whodunit.

Mr Eastwood does it again - painfully telegraphing and editorializing information that should/could be communicated more simply (visuals or just once at least). The film also makes bizarre editing choices and is just plain annoying, for example, witness gives testimony about seeing something to defense BUT two ridiculous things happen next. Judge recesses rather than letting prosecutor cross and... we NEVER get to see this. I am no lawyer but there are so many moments in this film that had me smacking my head in disbelief that it would happen during a trial. And the way the jurors behave toward one another in the juror room, yeah, that just would not happen. And on, and on... + the ending, don't get me started.
