    Clint Eastwood's Juror #2 is a well edited and tense legal drama, that is made all the more memorable, with its captivating central performances and engaging cinematography.

    Not only that, but the story becomes more complex and meaningful with its resonant themes, such as guilt, mourning, and justice. As the end credits appear on screen, one might start questioning the American justice system...
