Article Summary

• Clint Eastwood's film, Juror #2, gets a new featurette and clips from Warner Bros.
• Eastwood's last directing project sparks conversations despite mixed initial reviews.
• Film features stars like Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette in a compelling legal drama.
• With limited theatrical release, fans may have to travel to catch this potential final Eastwood film.

Juror #2 will be a topic of conversation in 2024, regardless of how the reviews for the film end up panning out. So far, they are trending on the mediocre to decent side, which isn't bad, but everyone will be talking about the minuscule theatrical run that the film is getting. That wouldn't be a big deal if the film didn't have so many big stars attached and is being touted as, possibly, the last film Clint Eastwood will direct. It feels like ending an era on the worst possible note and disrespectful to Eastwood's legacy regardless of the box office return on his previous film [which were terrible]. Maybe that's also why some of the minimal marketing feels like something you would release if your director passed away before the premiere. We got two new clips over the last couple of days, but the behind-the-scenes featurette is shot, and everyone is frankly speaking like Eastwood has either retired or passed away. It's very strange. If you're looking to check this out in theaters, you might have to drive, but seeing the last big screen feature from one of the greats could be worth it.
