above is a brief introduction to the film on the DVD package. You can basically treat it as useless, because the content of this film is absolutely wonderful. It's not as simple as the above.
Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, John Cusack, in fact, as long as you see these three names, you can basically be sure that the show will not be bad. It is possible for a good actor to make a bad film, but it is unlikely that three good actors will make a bad film together. The above-mentioned three are all good actors of the acting school. The three generations of the old, middle and young are complete, and they are really drooling without watching the show. I started to drool when I saw John Cusack's name and then when I saw Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman, I couldn't help but pay for the extra-budget hardcover edition. Basically, when I buy a disc, I will first look at the comments of my friends before making a decision. However, I haven't read any comment beforehand for this movie, so I rely on these three names. Sure enough, it did not disappoint. The performance of these three male protagonists is really top-notch. In addition, the outstanding performance of other actors such as the heroine Rachel Weisz in the film is definitely a guarantee of credibility. It is not good to not charge money.
With actors who have good acting skills, they must also have good scripts for the actors to perform. RUNAWAY JURY is adapted from a famous American novel. The most important thing in the whole story is not the battle between the jurors and the lawyers. It is the last sentence of "the victim returns to revenge", which is simply a classic! The first time I saw it, I didn't realize it until I got there (probably because I was relatively slow to respond). The second time I saw it, I found many details based on this sentence, and then I was happy that John was not a bad person. The best thing is to see Gene Hackman's expression at that moment, ah, ah, it's an evergreen tree in the movie world! ! ! ! That expression is really nothing to say! ! Doubts, memories, remembering, and then everything is rearranged, the original fact is like this.
At the beginning, you might think that as the introduction said, "The greedy nature tests every juror", but it's far more than that. Human nature, justice, greed, and revenge, in the step-by-step calculations of the institutions, and in the repeated "playing", it is gradually discovered that things cannot be solved by money, but justice and revenge are all done at once. I was very impressed by Dustin Hoffman and John Cusack in a confrontation. They doubted each other, but they had to choose trust. In other words, Dustin Hoffman’s sensitive nerves had guessed what the young man in front of me did. , It may not be that simple.
What attracted me the most was the wonderful performances of the three acting schools. Sometimes when I watch movies, I just look at people and see the scenery. This movie is completely aimed at the acting skills of the actors. Although some people think that the script can’t make the three actors perform to the fullest, for example, the confrontation between Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman in the court bathroom is not as exciting as expected. In fact, I think it’s more exciting when choosing jurors. But that's the business of the film critics. For the average audience (such as me), the performance of the three is already worth the price. The only thing that makes me regretful is that there are almost no scenes where three people are playing at the same time. I really want to see the sparks among these three acting representatives of different ages.
Gene Hackman is definitely not old, in fact, they are not old at all! The role of a defense lawyer is not easy to play. In addition to treacherousness, what else is there, such as the king's temperament? I don't know if this adjective is appropriate, but I really feel that way when I see him deploying a large group of lawyers in front of a bunch of high-tech. Dustin Hoffman, who is also a court character, is too far from what it looks like in SLEEPERS! I can only say that for Hoffman’s acting skills, this play really didn’t make him fully play. I’m not to blame for the screenwriter and director. There are not many scripts that can fully play Hoffman... John Cusack, who represents the young school, didn’t show up. The two heavyweight seniors lost their light in front of them. It should be said that John played the best in the whole show. The role arrangement in the first half tested his inner drama, because in the end it would surprise the audience a lot.
Finally, I suggest that you learn about the jury system in the United States before watching this film, such as the selection of jurors and the judgment process, otherwise you may not understand or feel too exaggerated during the appreciation. The system of jurors in the movie is faithfully reproduced. Indeed, in American law, it is the jurors selected from ordinary people who hold the final decision. Therefore, they will be very cautious when choosing lawyers from both sides. Considering the political, religious, and moral thinking of these people, is it easy to make decisions that are unfavorable to one's own side? Moreover, it is required that 12 people pass unanimously to determine whether they are guilty or not guilty. It is not uncommon for 12 strangers to be locked in a hotel for several weeks for a case. So in this case, if one of them is due to If you deliberately influence other people for other purposes, it is indeed possible to influence the outcome of the judgment.
