A great 'thriller' has just arrived at Max that has been overlooked, but is one of the best of 2024 – Movie news

It is very easy to disdain the work of the old masters when they are no longer seen as profitable by the industry. Older but creative people who still has the urge to tell storiesbut they almost have to ask permission to be able to show that they still have a lot of cinema inside them, and that they should share it with us.

Not even the name of Clint Eastwood may seem enough for a studio to bet on him as they should. Thus, he gives us a film as great as Jury No. 2 and this goes unnoticed due to the lack of real commitment to it. But can conquer now which premieres in streaming through Max.

In Savannah, Georgia, journalist and recovering alcoholic Justin Kemp is summoned to jury duty in a case involving the death of Kendall Carter. A year earlier, Kendall got into an altercation with her boyfriend, James Sythe, at a local bar and was later found dead under a bridge. Sythe is accused of his murder.

After being chosen as a juror, and after beginning to learn details of the case, Justin realizes something really terrible: That he may be the one who accidentally killed Kendall. Now he faces a dilemma: admit the crime and go to jail or manipulate the jury into putting an innocent man behind bars and remain free.

'Juror No. 2': Eastwood on trial

Eastwood once again takes us through a drama that appears austere, just in terms of ornaments, but with a powerful story. Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette amazingly lead a much more genre-driven film than their previous dramas, making an incredibly entertaining courtroom thriller who also has incredible insights about the justice system.

The result not only has you trapped, but also reveals incredible nuances, a lot of moral complexity, without ever losing a firm grip on the story. It is not only one of Eastwood's best films in quite some timebut it can be among his great works. And, without a doubt, one of the best of the year.

You can see Jury No. 2 in Max.
