Just got back from Richard Jewell, first movie since American Sniper where the audience applauded at the end. Great Movie. The actor playing Richard Jewell was obviously hired for his looks and not his talent, he did alright but was a little stiff. Reminded me of 15:17 to Paris where Clint used the real guys. Sam Rockwell, Jon Hamm and Kathy Bates more than made up for his shortcomings. Olivia Wilde played the reporter who broke the story and came across as a real slut. The movie gave the impression she slept with the FBI agent to get he story.
The media doesn't look good and neither does the FBI. Even after Jewell passes a lie detector test, they know he couldn't make the phone call because it took 6 minutes to get the phone booth, and they searched his home and took everything and still couldn't find a thing. Yet, Jon Hamm's character after handing Jewell's Lawyer Sam Rockwell the paperwork that the FBI no longer considers him a suspect, still has the audacity to say I think your client is guilty.
