Another Clint Eastwood masterpiece. Richard Jewell, a security guard, was incorrectly implicated in the bombing at the Atlanta Olympics. This is the story of how that story evolved, and years after was unraveled when the real bomber confessed. Clint Eastwood has a knack for finding the stories that have endings that have been left untold, and finishing them with the true ending. Love his movies.

I was initially bored watching the movie as the character of R. Jewel was developed. He was portrayed as an unsympathetic person, a loose cannon, and a power hungry individual willing to bully and step on the rights of others to uncover any infractions of the rules that he could find. And I think that this sums him up. But regarding the placement of the bomb at the Atlanta olympics his attention to detail paid off. If the movie portrayed the FBI accurately it was a sad chapter in their history. I have rated the movie highly because it is very interesting how Jewel and his attorney were able to stymie the FBI.

Excellent movie - relevant for today's times especially considering our freedoms could be jeopardized by FBI flawed investigations and some press' rush to judgement

It plays like a rental should certainly like a bootleg rental there are occasional freezing scenes but they do buffer out in under 10 seconds about 2-3 times but I was more upset the film was pulled from a local theater the 5 day of showings for bad viewership happy I was able to get it for myself

This was a real miscarriage of media coverage. I felt so bad for Richard & his mother because of all the unnecessary negative press and pressure it caused. They stuck together through it all. Sad Richard is no longer with us.
