JUROR # 2 (12) 114 MINS Director: Clint Eastwood Starring: Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, J.K. Simmons Synopsis: While serving as a juror in a high-profile murder trial, a family man finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma, one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict or free the wrong killer. Awards: Reviews: "Eastwood’s sparely classical contribution to the genre is stripped of the slightest ounce of excess weight. The film demands close attention: gestures and facial expressions are charged." **** FINANCIAL TIMES "Grappling with the mechanisms of justice and the workings of a lone conscience, [Eastwood] puts both in the scales, and no one’s off the hook. **** DAILY TELEGRAPH "Nicholas Hoult shines in a career-defining role, while Eastwood’s direction delivers relentless tension and moral complexity in a film that could mark a spectacular swan song." **** OBSERVER "A deeply involving and thought-provoking new spin on the genre, which serves up a ripe moral quandary that goes deeper than anything John Grisham ever managed." **** TIME OUT
