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 painted the truth Clint Eastwood will be busy making more of these keep it up sir
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.
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.
A beautiful heart framed by government. I'm glad for the outcome
Great movie I loved it
Solid movie!
I remember the Atlanta bombing but not Richard Jewell’s story. I am. glad this was told. And the story is relevant as it was in1996. Clint Eastwood does a great job with excellent performances. If you are interested in a historic event watch this movie.
Great movie!!! Loved it; too bad he did not get a chance to see this movie...
OH! MY! GOD!
Excellent movie. It was nice to see and understand Richard Jewell's story. Great cast as well!
The movie was beautifully done. The entire cast was amazing and did an excellent job. The very interesting and true story of Richard Jewell.
Good Film
Kathy Bates Oscar worthy performance.
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.
An appropriate story that relates to our current headlines.
I am definitely coming to see it again
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 !!
Watched it with wifey and enjoyed it! Great movie!
Another Clint Eastwood film, another award ceremony.
Really enjoyed the movie.
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 how a person can fall victim because of their own personal wants.
It’s a good film. Too bad he didn’t live long after his name was cleared.
One of the best FILMS I’ve ever seen!
A GREAT FILM!!! Awesome cast and directing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Another excellent film. The acting in this movie was amazing.
Everyone did such a great job in this movie. So glad I saw it.
Great movie. Even though a true story, it still kept you on the edge of your seat. Great cast and acting! A must see!
Really eye opening. Shows how your life could be turned upside and survive.
Really amazing movie despite the controversy. I can remember these events; it's amazing that the story is just now getting told.
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 everyone should see.
great story - good acting
a movie that gets you deeply thinking about what's true and what is manipulating . Good job like always Clint Eastwood!
direction could have been better.
Loved it!
Fantastic acting by lead role! Emotional yet funny movie and it's a true story
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. Richard Jewell could have been put to death for something he didn’t do. Was he an odd guy? Sure. But he was a hero that day. RIP Richard...
I give it five Snickers out if five. RIP Mr Richard Jewell.
Loved it, Was overjoyed when Richard Jewell spoke up for himself. Very good acting.
What a great movie.
Really enjoyed this film! Clint does it again.
Perfect example of how the media distroys people without consequence.
Wonderful movie!
Great movie I loved it, must see.
This was a good screenplay that was well cast. Clint did it again.
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 movie attempts to tug at heartstrings that it has no business plucking.
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.
