JUROR #2

Nicholas Hoult stars alongside Toni Collette and Kiefer Sutherland in this courtroom drama directed by Clint Eastwood. Hoult portrays Justin Kemp, a juror involved in a murder trial. **SPOILER ALERT** As the trial progresses, Kemp grapples with the realisation that he inadvertently caused the victim’s death by hitting her with his car after a night of drinking. This forces him to confront a moral dilemma: should he convict an innocent man or confess to his actions and risk life in prison? Collette plays Faith Killebrew, the prosecutor and newly elected District Attorney, who finds herself at an ethical crossroads due to Kemps actions. Despite decent acting and average plot, I never felt fully invested in Kemps predicament. His build up as an every day family man was lacking and there was a disconnect there for me.
