Richard Jewell

Yet another terrific movie from Clint Eastwood - he's a much better director than actor. All the actors played their part well and the story flows without getting bogged down. 10/10

This is an excellent film from Clint Eastwood!

Firstly, what a terrific performance from Paul Walter Hauser! He plays lead perfectly, as he makes it impossible not to root for the titular character - which is admittedly a given due to the plot, but Hauser adds an extra level of believability to proceedings. I felt every intended emotion.

Sam Rockwell does very good behind Hauser, as do Kathy Bates and Olivia Wilde. Jon Hamm is good, too, as he returns to an Eastwood flick, having made his film debut in the latter's 'Space Cowboys' nineteen years prior.

Portraying a messed up true event, 'Richard Jewell' is a film that I'd most definitely suggest you check out. 9/10 from me.

Great movie and thrillingly underrated, great acting and directing, I don't know why it's not nominated for acting and directing in Oscars! Totally recommended

Really enjoyed this one, Paul Walter Hauser carries the whole movie. What a great performer!

"Paul Walter Hauser commands the screen."

Intensely moving, and yet another reminder of the abuses of power within the justice system. A good yet sad film, but thank goodness for the many people like Richard Jewell, striving to make a difference in support of the protection of others.

Another great film from Mr. Eastwood. Don’t care about his politics, don’t care about the accuracy of this story. It’s a entertaining film. Acting was superb, Paul Walter Hauser, Sam Rockwell and the always excellent Kathy Bates are just amazing.

Once again, Clint Eastwood delivers a masterful directing performance, weaving together a complex and emotional narrative with precision. The film does an excellent job of portraying the events as we know them, offering a compelling look at the investigation, media frenzy, and legal battles that followed the bombing. The acting is excellent, with each actor delivering a convincing and compelling performance that draws you into the story.

From director Clint Eastwood comes the tragic, true story Richard Jewell. After security guard Richard Jewell discovers a bomb in Centennial Park during the 1996 Summer Olympics and helps save people from the explosion he’s praised as a hero, but the FBI soon targets him as the bomber, despite having no evident, and destroys his life. Featuring Sam Rockwell, Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde, Kathy Bates, and Paul Walter Hauser, the film has a strong cast that delivers some excellent (and award winning) performances. And Eastwood does an impressive job at heightening the tension and suspense as the FBI closes in on Jewell, entrapping him. Incredibly powerful, Richard Jewell is a cautionary tale of how easily an innocent man’s life can be ruined by reckless and irresponsible journalists and law enforcement officers.

I had no idea about the case so the approach and the story telling was ok. It felt way to dragged long and very stupid as evidence and approach from the FBI. It was all a big charade. Hauser was magnificent and i do not believe the movie will be watchable without him.
