Richard Jewell - 7/10

Paul Walter Houser and Kathy Bates give tremendous performances in this. Yves Bélanger gives some really good cinematography too. Where I think the film gets in trouble a bit is playing up the FBI and Media as one-sided villains too much and portraying Jewell at times as so stupid/clueless it took me out of it a bit.

In the end, it's a Clint Eastwood flick and Eastwood is one of those guys who always delivers a certain quality of film, and once again, at age 89, he does that.
