12 Un-angry men - Runaway Jury review by NC
Cussak and Hoff and Gene and still go to sleep. Come back Paul Newman and Pesci. Even Ironside could put some zip in it.

Good Solid Courtroom Thriller - Runaway Jury review by GI
This is a good solid courtroom drama/ thriller that rattles along at a fantastic pace, has a great twist and turn plot, two great leads in John Cusack and Rachel Weisz and when you have Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman, in their first film together, you know you're onto a winner. Adapted from a John Grisham novel this is set in New Orleans and Nick Easter (Cusack) is selected for jury service. The case is a civil one bought by the wife of a man murdered in a mass shooting against the firearms company who made the gun used in the massacre. The all powerful gun lobby company hires Rankin Fitch (Hackman), a professional jury consultant, who believes "trials are too important to be left to juries", to help select the right people from the jury list. It soon becomes apparent that Nick is up to something on the jury and Fitch and the lawyer representing the widow (Hoffman) receive calls from Marlee (Weisz) offering to swing the verdict for a price. There's obviously a massive message about American gun laws and the 2nd Amendment but overall this is just a wonderfully plotted and riveting film. There's nothing here that you won't enjoy and I highly recommend this if you haven't seen it.
