Richard Jewell: A Review




Richard Jewell is a scathing take down of the FBI and the Media. It pulls no punches. This is a movie you should go see and get your friends and family to go see. It is a great movie. As such expect Hollywood to snub it and many in the media to pan it. Don't believe them. 

Paul Walter Hauser and Sam Rockwell do an excellent job portraying Richard Jewell and his lawyer Watson Bryant fighting back against the FBI and Media. Thank you Clint Eastwood for making this film. Kathy Bates and Nina Arianda are also superb. The entire cast is excellent.

Deadline: ‘Richard Jewell’ Scribe Billy Ray Accuses Atlanta Journal-Constitution Editor Of Using Disputed Scene To Cloak Its Role In Ruining Hero’s Life:
“Some will try to paint this movie as being anti-FBI or anti-media,” Ray told Deadline. “It’s neither. It’s about speaking truth to power. You have to stop thinking about the FBI and the media as institutions. The FBI and the media are groups of people who are stewards of institutions. And those people can have good or bad judgement, good or bad intentions. In this particular case, the FBI and the AJC, in their pursuit of truth, rushed to judgment and destroyed an innocent man who had saved lives. Richard then had to develop a whole new kind of courage so he could defend himself from them,” said Ray.
