Now I gotta take my girlfriend to see it.
It’s definitely POISONOUS. We wouldn’t want an innocent man to go free now would we.
Now I really want to go see it. I hope it lives up to the Daily Beast’s biased screed pretending to be a review.
I wonder how this jackass reviewed the democrat fantasy movie “Truth” or any of Michael Moore’s docu-diatribes? I am not going to bother to look for any of his prior reviews, because I don’t want to give his garbage any additional traffic. I am convinced that a lot of the blatantly partisan crap that the lamestream media dumps on the interweb these days is intended as nothing more than click bait.
The Centennial Park Olympic bombing occurred on July 27, 1996, just 10 days after the downing of TWA 800. This was an attack on the credibility of Bill Clinton's presidency just 3 months before the election.
Clinton's CIA had already pushed aside the FBI's investigation of the TWA 800 crash, substitution their "zoom climb" video in place of the FBI's missile streak eye-witness reports.
Ten days later, Clinton's FBI needed to find a suspect or else doubts would arise over Clinton's ability to keep the Olympics safe, as well as the country. It was also a threat to supporting the claim that Democrats are soft on defense and weak on policing. They needed a perp, fast, and Jewell was it, or Clinton's reelection chances were in doubt.
We know that Clinton was reelected, that Jewell was eventually cleared, that four years later Clinton's weakness would emerge in the 9/11 bombing that was planned during his last year in office, that the FBI would cover for Hillary in Benghazi, would cover for her illegal email server, cover for her election loss, and would cover for the Obama era abuses of power.
If there were to be a flash-point for when the FBI turned to the dark side, it was the case of Richard Jewell.

You will never find a group with thinner skin than the fraternity of journalists. Any attack on them (regardless how justified) is perceived by them as attacks on the first amendment. Their worldview is that they are independent observers above reproach and impervious to laws.
Therefore, when the media is seen as being one of the monsters, they will, in goosestep, furrow their brows, stiffen their spines and attack the makers of this “fraud”.
1996. Somehow a situation that happened 20 + years ago is pro Trump. Exposing the corruption of the media and the FBI, I will love to see this movie. FWIW, I always find myself not sure what to think with his movies. The Mule was strange to say the least.
Wait until Eastwood does a Movie about George Zimmerman.
The FBI leadership and the media in general have done enough to vilify themselves; no movie is needed to help.
We saw the movie today. It was exceptional. It’s been quite awhile since we wanted to go to the theater to see a movie, glad it was this one. If the FBI was doing this kind of crap back then imagine what they have been doing recently. Eastwood was a genius to pick this story at this time in our history. The casting is great and the acting was too.
