For a brief period in the '90s, legal thrillers were all the rage. They were as ubiquitous as superhero movies in the 2010s and they attracted top-tier filmmakers like Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Altman and Alan J. Pakula. Then Hollywood ran out of John Grisham novels to adapt and turned to comic books instead. Juror #2, sadly rumoured to be Clint Eastwood's final film (he is 95, after all), somewhat fittingly arrives at a time when audiences seem to have finally tired of watching men in tights punch one another. It's a throwback to those '90s thrillers, complete with obligatory Southern setting, and a reminder that while those films were no less hokey in their own way than a Batman movie, they were a fun time made for adults and a dream for the actors involved.
