Atom User Reviews for Richard Jewell
This movie was an eye opener how the media can quickly ruin an innocent citizens life over a unverified details it almost looks like what we see our news stations doing today except Twitter wasn’t born yet so the news and newspapers were more powerful back than glad this…
THE FBI IS CORRUPT AND THE MEDIA IS A WHORE.
Excellent movie. Nice to finally hear the truth about Richard Jewell.
Portrayed the true story of the aftermath for Richard Jewell very well. An emotional eye-opening film, I couldn't get enough. Was one of those movies you never wanted to end.
Time and time again government agents have proven they can not be trusted.
Accurate story, emotional moments, flawless acting.
Great movie. Clint did it again.
A beautiful heart framed by government. I'm glad for the outcome
Good true story. A little drawn out and boring at times. Could have shortened it a bit, but you see the hell this poor guy and his mom went through.
Great movie I loved it
This movie is proof of how many people have been unjustly had their lives ruined by people and the media by one or more people jumping to conclusions. This was a great movie that shows just one of those type of stories with heart and feeling, it is a great movie and a story…
I loved it
A good guy that was just trying to do his job .. Definitely puts light on how crooked and corrupt the media really is, and how they can completely RUIN a persons life with false accusations.
It was a well made, touching movie
Fantastic acting by lead role! Emotional yet funny movie and it's a true story
Solid movie!
Great movie I loved it, must see.
Another excellent film. The acting in this movie was amazing.
Great movie, never realized what Richard went through.
a movie that gets you deeply thinking about what's true and what is manipulating . Good job like always Clint Eastwood!
OH! MY! GOD!
Loved it!
The movie overall wasn’t bad. I know it got a lot of backlash because people felt Clint Eastwood made the parties originally involved look bad, but I really feel it was a good depiction of what took place. It shed a light on different things such as greed, desperation and…
this movie had everything anyone can ask for in a movie. this movie had brought tears to my eyes and i will see this movie again !!
excellent movie. the cast was great. Eastwood had a good flow.
Really eye opening. Shows how your life could be turned upside and survive.
An appropriate story that relates to our current headlines.
Excellent overall.
Outstanding movie that sheds light on a such a tragic moment in US history. I lived during this event and the government truly tried to railroad this guy. He was on the news 24/7 and the media and FBI had already determined he was guilty long before he ever got a trial.…
This was a good screenplay that was well cast. Clint did it again.
Everyone did such a great job in this movie. So glad I saw it.
Loved it!!
Good Film
Now the WORLD dose know his name "Richard Jewell"
direction could have been better.
Excellent movie. It was nice to see and understand Richard Jewell's story. Great cast as well!
It’s a good film. Too bad he didn’t live long after his name was cleared.
Very good movie centered around Who Richard actually is and his need to help. Richard Jewell is a great movie about the guy who might seem weird to you but you know he has good intentions..
What a great movie.
I am definitely coming to see it again
Really enjoyed the movie.
it was good but not great. acting was superb. I felt it lacked a big powerful feel good ending. However seeing it's a true story, we all know how it ends anyways. 3 1/2 stars out of 5.
great story - good acting
Great movie!!! Loved it; too bad he did not get a chance to see this movie...
I’m sorry but no adult male with such an enabling mother is as innocent as this movie tried to portray him. He had been arrested for frightening and way over-the-line behaviors in the past. He was creepy! And there were VERY good reasons he was being investigated. This…
Great movie. Even though a true story, it still kept you on the edge of your seat. Great cast and acting! A must see!
Clint Eastwood's movies never disappoint. I am glad this movie was made so that a seemingly good man's name is restored a little bit. Sad this happened to him.
Loved it, Was overjoyed when Richard Jewell spoke up for himself. Very good acting.
Another Clint Eastwood film, another award ceremony.
Really enjoyed this film! Clint does it again.
Metacritic
It’s Hauser who keeps the movie from tilting over, even though Eastwood and Ray initially seem to patronize the character. The knuckleheaded scene-stealer from I, Tonya and BlacKkKlansman has the chance here to play a fuller, more rounded character for a change, and he’s unexpectedly up to the task. The performance is an eye-opener. With a little refinement and polish, we may have found our long-awaited Ignatius J. Reilly.
Hauser, as Richard, is absolutely superb: nebbishy, so solicitous of authority that he barely bothers to defend himself and seeming, at times, slightly dimwitted. As Watson, Rockwell often steals the spotlight, playing his client’s most ardent defender and, when called for, his most dismayed life coach, as Richard naively finds himself playing into the hands of his enemies again and again.
Eastwood once again takes a sharp stab at America’s penchant for attacking first, asking questions later.
