Richard Jewell Ratings & Reviews
- mickerdooFebruary 26, 2026A disgracefully handled case. Hauser, Rockwell and Bates make a great good guys team. While Scruggs and Shaw screw up everything.
- AjayJanuary 31, 2026Paul Walter Hauser gives one of his best performances yet, in my opinion, as a loveable but misguided individual who wants nothing more than to serve his country alongside the authority he respects above all. Seeing him as the underdog get ruthlessly slandered and harassed makes you fill with anger and sadness, and you root for him not just because of his circumstances but his moral compass, which shines undubitably strong throughout the film. I was surprised when I found out this is based on a true story, and holds up quite well to the true account of events that occurred (as best as it can, given Hollywood's grubby fingers getting mixed into it). It's definitely worth a watch.
- imthatguyhereMarch 6, 2025A heartbreaking story told through a modern lense. Rockwell carries this one, and it's worth every second.
- baptiste.v6April 13, 2025A very great movie. A need in your watchlist.
- MrMitchieDecember 29, 2025This is one great film I watched this for the second time last night with the family. We all really enjoyed it. You can expect a good movie of Clint Eastwood is the director. Based on a true story.
- Sharon BirchAugust 12, 2025Wow… just wow. I don’t usually write reviews, but this movie hit me hard. It’s based on a true story, and the acting from everyone was so good that I forgot I was watching actors. The characters felt real, the story grabbed me and didn’t let go, and honestly, I got so angry at the injustice that I wanted to yell at the screen. By the end, I was in tears. Absolutely worth watching.
- SaibianGutsMarch 5, 2025Very good overall. Definitely worth watching
- ChrisOctober 28, 2024“You ready to start fighting back?” - Watson Bryant Another great film from Mr. Eastwood. Don’t care about his politics, don’t care about the accuracy of this story. It’s a entertaining film. Acting was superb, Paul Walter Hauser, Sam Rockwell and the always excellent Kathy Bates are just amazing.
