Review of Richard Jewell (2019) by Jluis_001 — 21 Dec 2019

Clint Eastwood's political and social points of view are quite clear and he has voiced them a lot of times. Unfortunately this film never ceases to feel like a vehicle for his agenda and perhaps the worst of it - besides the script - is that almost 90% of the characters he puts on screen act and look completely incompetent. Therefore there's barely some sort of connection with the story.

And the most important thing of all, is that he never really seems to care about the main character and from the little I could read about Richard Jewell, the truth is that the script doesn't feel honest and even though you know a film can twist the real events, when the material is manipulated that way, it cannot help feeling too manufactured.
