Clint Eastwood the filmmaker has long had a habit of dropping his movies into theaters without much fanfare. “Million Dollar Baby” arrived in cinemas after most critic groups and award prognosticators had already announced their “best of” lists, and went on to clean up at the Oscars and box office.
Truthfully, the last decade has been Eastwood’s weakest as a filmmaker, with “Jersey Boys” and “The 15:17 to Paris” borderline dreadful, and even increasingly rare standouts like “Sully” and “Richard Jewell” not approaching the level of his heyday, critically or commercially.
Even by this standard, though, I’m not sure what to make of the release for “Juror #2.” It’s heavily rumored to be Eastwood’s last film, and at age 94 it’s not like it would be surprising for him to hang up his spurs. It debuted at the American Film Institute, as has been Eastwood’s habit, and then got dumped into a few dozen theaters in only the largest markets. It’s actually playing in more theaters in England, around 300, than here in the States.
Warner Bros. is said to be planning to give it a national release only on its Max streaming network, but with no date attached so far. I was able to watch it as part of awards consideration screeners afforded to broadcast critics, and since th

It's not that woman weren’t allowed sit on juries in the 1950s when Reginald Rose wrote his teleplay (1954), then screenplay (1957), later adapted into a play (1964) from his classic film Twelve Angry Men. Women had been active on juries since the 1920s. It’s more that it was considered unseemly at the time for women to be around unruly men. Arguing, swearing, squaring off, name-calling, insulting and threatening each other which Rose was determined not to soften. Passions rising in a swelteringly hot, locked room where a jury have been sequestered. There to decide the fate of a young man facing the death penalty for murdering his father. The jury his last hope in a flawed legal system. A jury of self-righteous, self-centred, bigoted and prejudiced men in a hurry to be done with it. Men who've already decided this is an open and shut case and are almost unanimous about the accused’s guilt. All except juror Number Eight who believes there’s grounds for reasonable doubt. Ding ding, seconds away, and it’s round one as the jury vote comes back 11 to 1. Their decision needing to be unanimous. Their deliberations making for battle of hearts and minds as juror N
