Which is EXACTLY why my husband and I will be going to see it.

Kirsten Powers works at Daily Beast. She’s the one about to lose everything to The Sandman. Ironic.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

The Left, they love their Gestapo, oh yes.

[Bon of Babble]

I was wondering which movie I could take my family to - there are SO FEW.

Now I know. We’ll be seeing this.

[Candor7]

You know its a good movie when you hear the Daily Beast caterwauling, “ IT’S POISONOUS!”

I love how high pitched their voice gets when they know they are losing!

[Buckeye McFrog]

a MAGA screed calibrated to court favor with the red hat-wearing faithful by vilifying the president’s two favorite enemies: the FBI and the media.

bbbb….bbbbu….bb...bbbbut the FBI and the media WERE WRONG about Jewell.

[Savage Beast]

Wow! Eastwood must have struck a nerve! The nerve must be TRUTH!

[Samurai_Jack]

so..
It’s Effective!

[Ingtar]

I had not planned on seeing it. If this is the case, then I guess I will. I was leery of Midway, but am happy for some Freeper reviews that convinced me to go.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Wow! Eastwood must have struck a nerve!

Yeah, way better than that lame empty chair stunt of his.

Hey, Clint. Next how 'bout a film based on the 2001 anthrax attacks?

[rktman]

Well, "No Safe Spaces" opens near us on Friday. And we have some free tickets. 👏🎬🎥

I love Clint Eastwood movies. Whether he is acting or directing he’s one of the best. I still love watching his “man with no name” westerns.

My wife and I usually go out to dinner and a movie on New Years Eve. This movie is my choice.

[mad_as_he$$]

Generally I like them also. But “The Mule” didn’t work for me.

[LittleBillyInfidel]

Yet that individualistic ethos has curdled

This is the muddled writing of an undergrad level writer who thinks very highly of himself. This 'nothing term' can be applied to anyone in any situation. His individualistic writing ethos has curdled my stomach.

Most Hollywood films about journalism … take the press’ side, portraying it as a … noble institution …

If I'm looking for a movie to watch on TV and the description says the hero is a "journalist", I stop reading right there and look for something else.

[SolidRedState]

The critic must be too young to remember the travesty that this was from the git go. Jewell was treated like a criminal from almost the instant he reported the bomb(s).

Even us out in fly over country knew he was being made a scapegoat.

He deserves every penny of his settlement and the rotten press and “investigators” should have been imprisoned!

[Menehune56]

What a great recommendation!

[Bon of Babble]

Don’t know that one.

I stopped looking for movies for us to go to years ago, too much bother...

We did see the movie about Fred Rogers - and that was the first time we’d been to the movies in a very long time...

After sitting through 2 hours of Mark Ruffle-my-feathers’ anti-corporate screed yesterday (”Dark Waters”), I look forward to the Richard Jewell movie, exposing once again, the ineptitude of Flanagan, Branagan and Itzkovitz.

Actually, to be fair, “Dark Waters” was fairly straightforward until maybe the last 10 minutes, when they just had to give in to their agenda. Given the main cast of Ruffalo, Tim Robbins and Anne Hathaway, quite an accomplishment.
