Richard Jewell

This Clint Eastwood (Midnight in Garden of Good and Evil) film sparked controversy here in Atlanta. It is based on the true story of Richard Jewell - a security guard during the Atlanta Olympic Games who discovered the bomb. It lays out a (probably biased) look at how the FBI and the AJC railroaded this man who ended up not being guilty. They wasted a lot of time focusing on him and smearing him in the press. I can see both sides of the controversy. You have to admit though Eastwood makes a good film. It was a solid script. Sam Rockwell (Moon) is always amazing. I love him - he does what I would call a city accent. Kathy Bates (Misery) did a good job - accent more Alabama though. The star though - Paul Walter Hauser (Late Night) was award winning amazing in my opinion. He had the mannerisms and the accent down - perfect. I saw this through a Red Box rental. All in all, I say: SEE IT
