Richard Jewell (Blu-ray + Digital)
“There is a bomb in Centennial Park. You have thirty minutes.” The world is first introduced to Richard Jewell as the security guard who reports finding the device at the 1996 Atlanta bombing - his report making him a hero whose swift actions save countless lives. But within days, the law enforcement wannabe becomes the FBI’s one suspect, vilified by press and public alike, his life ripped apart. Reaching out to independent, anti-establishment attorney Watson Bryant, Jewell staunchly professes his innocence. But Bryant finds he is out of his depth as he fights the combined powers of the FBI, GBI and APD to clear his client’s name, while keeping Richard from trusting the very people trying to destroy him.

I was present at the site when the bomb blew.
I met Richard Jewel several times. He checked me in a few times. We were not on a first-name basis but we knew each other professionally. When I heard the news he was being charged I didn't believe he would do something like this, but later I decided the FBI would never ever make an error so I trusted the authorities. I should have trusted my instincts.
I was impressed with the film's accuracy of the scene – even the credentialling is spot on. I still have my Centennial Village badge and those shown in the film are identical.
I staged the first event following the closure of the Centennial Village. I was tasked to link Tony Blair (then campaigning for British PM) to British swimming team. While were pushing in road cases I spotted Jesse Jackson with a small boy in tow wandering the area on his own. I suppose if you're Jesse Jackson you have the connections to open the Village so you roam in the early morning hours unhindered as if he'd owned the place.
That's truly a shame, really it is.
But it's a f------ tragedy that this gaping flaw is occurring so often even in capital cases which are given the greatest attention, time, scrutiny, review, and other resources. GGiven how often our courts fail to ascertain the (true and actual) facts and the correct applications of the laws to those facts even in so many capital cases, it is absolutely terrify/orizing to consider how often our courts must and most certainly do wrongfully convict and unjustly sentence factually and legally innocent defendants in non-capital cases. And even though a defendant in a non-capital case may not be facing execution or life, that's no consolation to the masses of the wrongfully convicted innocent whose reputations have been smeared, perceived characters assassinated, and lives destroyed by our clumsy and corrosive legal system. Countless of innocent defendants are unreasonably arrested, wrongfully convicted, and unjustly sententenced even as I type these words. Many innocent-but-convicts have spent years- some even decades- for crimes they are absolutely innocent of. And while achieving justice, exoneration, and mere pittance of restoration after wrongful conviction in a capital case is just shy of impossible to achieve (even with access to a great law firm and exculpatory evidence and witnesses) achieving anything even approaching justice, exoneration, and/or restoration after wrongful conviction in a non-capital case- again, even with superb counsel and dispositive evidence at hand- has a statistical probability of about zero.
So, surely this indisputable truth must at least give law enforcement, defehse attorneys, prosecutors, and judges at the very least a smidgen of pause- even if not humility- when rendering their veritable miscarriages of justice, right? RIGHT?!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
HAHAHAHA!!!
OF COURSE NOT!!!
For though the heavens may fall, justice shall NEVER supercede the haughty pride and fragile egos of judicial, court, and law enforcement "officers".
Selah
My country 'tis of thee,
no justice or liberty.
Of thee I sing!
With deft touch, director Clint Eastwood unpacks the essence of Jewell through lookalike actor Paul Walter Hauser. Hauser has been praised for his performance, but on the whole the portrayal slants too much to the mentally slow southern caricature. You can find an abundance of Jewell interviews on YouTube and it is obvious that in real life he was quicker on the uptake and more articulate. Kathy Bates, as Jewell's mother, provides the standout performance of the film for which she deservedly received an Oscar nomination. This is Bates at her absolute best. Not merely an appendage, she fleshes out the hell of the story, giving it the full emotional meaning and context it requires. Eastwood must have sat on Sam Rockwell's chest throughout because for once the quirky Rockwellisms were replaced with first-rate work -- highly resembling Jewell's cantankerous first lawyer. As the FBI agent, John Hamm looked like he was phoning in his lines from an episode of Mad Men; no matter, there was no need to stretch his limited acting range because he was only a cog in the script anyway.
While this film was somewhat acclaimed, it only broke even at the box office. If it had the full support of the studios it should have and could have made a modest profit. Instead, it came out in silence, raised its head a moment, and then sucked back down into swirling silence never to be heard from again. The reason is politics. If you've lived at all, you know the drill. This was never a story Hollywood was itching to tell. It only happened because Clint Eastwood is, well, Clint Eastwood.
After the fact, there was much woke kerfuffle about Eastwood's alleged "character assassination" of the female reporter in the film. Yes, some colleagues admit that she did have fluent sex with professional contacts. But there was no "proof" that she garnered this particular story by sleeping with a male FBI agent. That outrage was further engorged because the Hamm FBI agent was a composite character who could not be crucified personally on social media. Instead, actress Olivia Wilde and writer Billy Ray were threatened with blackballing, forced to walk back their work and repeat after me: The reporter did not trade sex for tips. The reporter did not trade sex for tips. The reporter did not trade sex for tips.
While Eastwood is not known for his unfair treatment of folks to juice up a film, twice I had to be restrained from slapping Olivia Wilde on the screen and tests later showed she gave me Hep C. But the film does not mention the reporter being fired after refusing to apologize for getting the story wrong. It did not include how her decomposing body was found in her apartment from a self-inflicted morphine overdose. It said nothing about the advanced heart disease, chainsmoking and alcohol abuse of her persistent toxic lifestyle.
Why would it? This movie is the true story of how a gun-owning bubba who believed in the sanctity of law and order was railroaded and steamrolled by the very system he dedicated his life to protect. Of course, they now want you to focus on other things.
