Eastwood delivers one of his meatiest, most enjoyable pulp genre films in years with Juror #2, recalling the glory days of slickly paced John Grisham ethical dilemmas of the 1990s.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 21, 2025

Juror #2 is one of the tightest thrillers director Clint Eastwood has made in years. Shame on Warner Bros. for not having any faith in its modest but dependable adult storytelling.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 21, 2025

A messy morality tale that admirably doesn’t take the easy way out.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 10, 2025

Juror #2 is a genuinely great piece of work.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Feb 4, 2025

A well-done legal thriller that, if it should be the final film of the legendary Eastwood, is a rather respectable note to go out on.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 3, 2025

A series of mirror images, many of them contradictory, combine to say something more meaningful than the sum of its parts.

| Original Score: A+ | Jan 31, 2025

Eastwood directs in his usual subdued style, without any embellishments of any kind, and elicits compelling performances from his uniform cast. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jan 18, 2025

...Juror #2 is an Eastwood film through and through. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jan 17, 2025

He doesn't always reach what he's after, but when Eastwood and his tremendous ensemble cast are rooting around in the shadows between clear rights and wrongs, this film absolutely shines. Juror #2 is one of the year's most confidently made adult dramas.

| Jan 9, 2025

Juror #2 ponders the cost of integrity and challenges audiences to consider whether they’d do the right thing even if it would ruin their life.

| Jan 6, 2025

Clint Eastwood's promising courtroom drama loses to a last scene misstep that costs the picture everything.

| Original Score: TWO STARS | Jan 4, 2025

Eastwood demonstrates not only the validity of his artistic and professional talents, but also his ability to explore complex themes through a refined classical style and great economy of means. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jan 3, 2025

A thrilling courtroom drama that might be predictable but is raised to the next level by incredible performances and a thought-provoking plot.

| Jan 2, 2025

This is a ridiculous plot, ridden with holes, which, in the hands of a pulpier director, could have been a tasty noir as Hoult feels the walls closing in on him. But Eastwood is too prestige-minded and the script isn’t mean or zingy enough.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 2, 2025

This is a twisty, tense and taut legal thriller that will evoke memories of ‘90s crowd-pleasers like A Time to Kill, Primal Fear, Presumed Innocent and The Client, as well as the grand-daddy of the courtroom drama - 12 Angry Men.

| Jan 1, 2025

Clint Eastwood's sturdy, serviceable courtroom drama is ambivalent about revealing any more than absolutely necessary about justice and the protagonist's moral dilemma.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 31, 2024

Though the plot is somewhat predictable, its sharp screenplay and Clint Eastwood’s masterful direction elevate it, making it an engaging watch.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 27, 2024

Poignantly morally ambiguous and delivered with a straight face, Juror #2 is not just a courtroom drama for the ages with a universal appeal – just as importantly, it is a slick, hugely entertaining film that does not pander to or prompt its audiences.

| Dec 26, 2024

In Juror No 2, Eastwood urges the audience to spend time with the characters, not only when they’re discussing the finer details of the case, but also when they’re stewing in silence.

| Dec 26, 2024

It is a pity that in steadily manning this ship, Eastwood stops short each time the actors arrive at a point of inner truth, pulling them back into the broader picture, pushing for the examination of an entire society.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 26, 2024
