PLOT
Father-to-be Justin Kemp (Hoult) is selected for jury service at a murder trial — but it soon becomes clear that he’s more involved in the case than expected.
WHETHER PLAYING an outlaw (the Man With No Name of Sergio Leone’s ‘Dollars Trilogy’), a loose-cannon law-enforcer (Dirty Harry) or chronicling the country’s most powerful lawman (J. Edgar), Clint Eastwood has always had a fascination with justice. At 94 years young and on his 40th effort as director, the Hollywood legend with the iconic grimace has now somehow made one of his best films in years.
