quite the conundrum with no easy answers. the premise alone of juror #2 had me interested in it, and i was pretty happy with how clint eastwood executed his ideas. morality is always challenged by context — in a vacuum the answer is easy, but we are not perfectly moral people. internal and external motivations, personal situations, and pretty much the depth of the human experience muddy the waters of chasing justice.
nicholas hoult is fantastic and wow his eyes are so blue. juror #2 works because of his performance, perfectly capturing how difficult and complicated his situation is.
