Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2020 Format: DVD The film is based on a true story that takes place in Monroeville, Alabama. Be sure to visit the Harper Lee Museum as you leave town. Johnny Lee (Jamie Foxx) was convicted of the murder of Rhonda Morrison. The conviction was based on perjured testimony. Bryan Stevenson (Michael B. Jordan) is a Harvard lawyer and is in town to defend the poor and bring justice to death row cases. He believes Johnny Lee is innocent and attempts to get his conviction overturned. Jamie Foxx gave us a great performance. Brie Larson demonstrates she can do something other than parade around in a tight costume. Michael B. Jordan was fine, but I can only think about how Denzel would have done it better. I am a sucker for films based on true civil rights stories. Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity in this prison film. Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2020 Format: Prime Video ¡ÈJust Mercy¡É Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, 136 Minutes, Rated PG-13, Released December 25, 2019: Based on an actual case and adapted from attorney Bryan Stevenson¡Çs memoir ¡ÈJust Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, ¡É the new motion picture ¡ÈJust Mercy¡É is the story of Walter McMillian, an independent tree cutter and pulpwood worker arrested and imprisoned in 1987 for a murder he did not commit. All evidence today points to the conclusion that McMillian was unjustly imprisoned mostly because of his race--he was a black man in a predominantly white community. In November 1986, eighteen-year-old Ronda Morrison, a Caucasian dry cleaning clerk in Monroeville, Alabama, was murdered at her place of employment, shot several times from behind. Walter McMillian, an African-American man with no prior felony convictions, was arrested for the crime in June 1987 despite a solid alibi and a dozen or so witnesses who placed him elsewhere at the time of the crime. Instead of being placed in a holding cell at the local jail, McMillian was sent immediately to Alabama¡Çs Death Row in Holman State remained there for fifteen months, awaiting trial. McMillian was eventually charged with Morrison's murder in a two-count indictment, and awaited trial still imprisoned on Death Row, as if conviction and a death sentence were a foregone conclusion. A motion for a change of venue was denied without reason, and after a trial which lasted only a day and and half, a jury of eleven whites and one African American convicted McMillian of murder and recommended life imprisonment. The judge, a man named Robert E. Lee Key, overruled the jury¡Çs recommendation, and sentenced McMillian to death. McMillian spent the next six years on Death Row, awaiting execution. In 1988, 28-year-old attorney and Harvard Law School graduate Bryan Stevenson formed the Alabama Capital Representation Resource Center in nearby Montgomery, and took up the task of appealing McMillian¡Çs case. Stevenson charged that the state suppressed evidence and denied McMillian due process of law, and demanded a new trial. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton from a screenplay adapted by Andrew Lanham and the director himself, ¡ÈJust Mercy¡É turns out to be an earnest and well-balanced courtroom drama, augmented by solid performances from a talented cast led by Jamie Foxx, Michael B. Jordan, and an almost unrecognizable Brie Larson. The drama seeks to avoid scenes which might be expected in the wake of pictures from ¡ÈTo Kill a Mockingbird¡É in 1962 through the somewhat similar fact-based ¡ÈBrian Banks¡É in 2019, and eventually builds to a richly satisfying conclusion, but ultimately lacks the narrative punch that might¡Çve turned the picture into a modern classic. Playing Stevenson, rising superstar Michael B. Jordan carries the picture¡Çs heart as the young attorney taught since childhood to ¡Èalways fight for the people who need the help most. ¡É Jordan¡Çs good in the role, but is never quite able to convey the sense of simmering moral indignation and righteousness conveyed in the Academy Award-winning performance of Gregory Peck in 1962¡Çs ¡ÈTo Kill a Mockingbird. ¡É Instead, Jordan maintains a sense of detachment and distance, even as his own civil rights are being violated by the bigoted lawmen of 1980s Alabama. In a sort of extended cameo appearance disguised in a curly brown mop of hair as a legal assistant to Jordan and manager of his Alabama Capital Representation Resource Center, Brie Larson seemingly seeks to remind viewers that prior to her career as a Marvel Comics superstar Captain Marvel she was an Academy Award-winning actress in such hard-hitting dramatic fare as 2015¡Çs ¡ÈRoom¡É and the 2017 adaptation of Jeannette Walls¡Ç memoir ¡ÈThe Glass Castle. ¡É Like Jordan, Larson¡Çs performance is it¡Çs ultimately tough to get past the knowledge that it is a performance. The best performance in ¡ÈJust Mercy¡É is contributed by Jamie Foxx as the unjustly imprisoned Walter McMillian. Never relying on a sympathetic characterization or attempting to simulate pathos, Foxx plays McMillian as a man hardened by the legal system, physically beaten but not broken, no longer allowing himself the luxury of any dream other than to maintain his dignity and die with courage. Only after months of legal interactions with Jordan¡Çs idealistic Stevenson do Foxx¡Ç eyes betray an unfamiliar emotion: Hope. If Michael B. Jordan provides the heart of ¡ÈJust Mercy, ¡É the Academy Award-winning Jamie Foxx supplies its soul. ¡ÈJust Mercy¡É is receiving excellent reviews from the critics, including an approval rating of 82% from Rotten Tomatoes and 68% from Metacritic. Audiences polled by CinemaScore assign a rare grade of A-plus to the picture. Released on Christmas Day in a limited pattern to only four theaters in New York and Los Angeles, the picture was expanded on January 10 into 2375 theaters across the United States and earned some $2. 66 million at the box office, capturing fourth place in the Box Office Mojo Top Ten behind ¡È1917¡É in first, ¡ÈStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker¡É in second, and ¡ÈJumanji: The Next Level¡É in fourth. Monroeville, Alabama, where ¡ÈJust Mercy¡É is set--and where the actual events described in the picture took place--was the childhood home of authors Truman Capote and Harper Lee, and the inspiration for fictional Maycomb, Alabama in Lee¡Çs 1960 novel ¡ÈTo Kill a Mockingbird. ¡É The connection to Lee¡Çs novel and its film adaptation are referenced a number of times throughout ¡ÈJust Mercy, ¡É and provide a more heartbreaking coda to Lee¡Çs iconic American drama than her own ¡ÈGo Set a Watchman¡É did when published in 2015. ¡ÈJust Mercy¡É is rated PG-13 for thematic content and language, including some racial epithets. Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2020 Format: Prime Video Just Mercy is a very important film dealing with due process, equal justice, race and class. It is based upon a true story that makes the message more powerful. It teaches an important lesson. It will have you shed a tear. That being said it is not without flaws. First the good. Just Mercy focuses upon a young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Michael B. Jordan) who is fresh out of Harvard Law School and decides to take up cases of people on death row who lack representation in Alabama. His main client becomes Walter McMillan aka Johnny D (Jamie Foxx) who was convicted of murder and given the death sentence based upon a flawed case. The movie deals with the institutional racism of the criminal justice system. As Stevenson investigates McMillan¡Çs case he comes up against police who considered him a criminal before they arrested him, public defenders who never argued his case, courts who already decided Johnny was guilty before the trial, and an appellate court that maintains this system of injustice. As Stevenson eloquently argues several times before a judge, America should be judge not by how it treats those at the top or the majority but those who are poor and minorities. That will be the true test of whether America has justice. This is an important message that needs to be emphasized again and again because most people take the system for granted and believe that it works when it rarely does for people like McMillan. Here¡Çs the problems with the film. First, maybe because it¡Çs just the nature of these types of procedural films where the lawyers have to investigate, go through court records, interview people, etc., but the pacing is very, VERY slow for the first half of the movie. Clocking in at just over two hours long that means a lot. The second issue is that the movie is very conventional meaning you know where everything is going beforehand. This is still a great movie and it really needs to be seen by a wide audience.
Edit Summaries World-renowned civil rights defense attorney Bryan Stevenson works to free a wrongly condemned death row prisoner. A powerful and thought-provoking true-story, "Just Mercy" follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Jordan) and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan might have had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Larson. ) One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Foxx, ) who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the only testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political maneuverings and overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter, and others like him, with the odds-and the system-stacked against them.

I was riveted and at times it was a hard watch because of the blatant injustice explored in it. The performances were first class and Michael B. Jordan has a stillness on camera, which is arresting and powerful. I cannot believe that this injustice happens and that this level of bigotry and racism escapes justice. Everyone who believes in justice for all, irrelevant of your race, social status and wealth should watch this film and I applaud the makers for bringing the story of this courageous lawyer to the big screen to highlight how these prejudices still exist in the home of the free.

Every life has meaning. Very strong messages about importance of doing the right thing, no matter the odds, fighting hard for those who need it the most, and problematic relationship between bigotry and justice. Black people?in a small, Southern town are targeted by the law based on how they look, and movie clearly points out how wrong that is. It also depicts what an uphill battle it is to change hearts and minds; this is about one small victory in a bigger fight.

He faces difficult odds, keeps persevering. Eva is also a positive role model, giving her time and her house to the cause, though she has less to do, is seen here mainly offering her support for Bryan.

LEARN MORE JUST MERCY ? #1 New York Times Bestseller The Book An unforgettable true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, and a clarion call to end mass incarceration in America ? from one of the most inspiring lawyers of our time. Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a nonprofit law office in Montgomery, Alabama, dedicated to defending the poor, the incarcerated, and the wrongly condemned. Just Mercy tells the story of EJI, from the early days with a small staff facing the nation¡Çs highest death sentencing and execution rates, through a successful campaign to challenge the cruel practice of sentencing children to die in prison, to revolutionary projects designed to confront Americans with our history of racial injustice. One of EJI¡Çs first clients was Walter McMillian, a young black man who was sentenced to die for the murder of a young white woman that he didn¡Çt commit. The case exemplifies how the death penalty in America is a direct descendant of lynching ? a system that treats the rich and guilty better than the poor and innocent.

Jordan, Jamie Foxx, Brie Larson, Rob Morgan, Tim Blake Nelson, Andrene Ward-Hammond, O'Shea Jackson Jr. and Karan Kendrick Bryan Stevenson is the founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative. He had barely opened the nonprofit law office in Montgomery, Alabama, when he agreed to represent Walter McMillian, a black man wrongly convicted of killing a white woman in the town that inspired To Kill a Mockingbird. Walter McMillian insisted he had been framed. He told Bryan, ¡ÈI know it may not matter to you, but it¡Çs important to me that you know that I¡Çm innocent and didn¡Çt do what they said I did, not no kinda way. ¡É Bryan took on the case, determined to show that prosecution witnesses had lied on the stand. Eva Ansley grew up in Alabama, disgusted by the state¡Çs unjust and abusive treatment of the poor and disfavored. Her commitment to finding legal help for people on Alabama¡Çs death row led her to join Bryan Stevenson in opening EJI, where she took on every challenge from accounting to recruiting lawyers. Herbert Richardson was executed in 1989, despite the State of Alabama¡Çs failure to provide him with timely and effective legal assistance. Ralph Myers served 30 years in prison and was released in 2017. He currently lives in Alabama. Brenda Lewis was an investigator on Mr. McMillian¡Çs case. She continues to assist indigent people accused of crimes as an investigator at the Federal Defender in Mobile, Alabama. Anthony Ray Hinton spent 30 years on Alabama¡Çs death row for a crime he did not commit. Even after EJI presented undisputed ballistics evidence that destroyed the State¡Çs case against him, Alabama prosecutors refused to re-open the case. It took 12 more years of litigation and a United States Supreme Court ruling to secure his freedom. Minnie McMillian supported her husband Walter during his six years on death row and actively fought for his release. Clients Just Mercy tells the story of EJI¡Çs clients, from Walter McMillian and Anthony Ray Hinton ? who were exonerated from Alabama¡Çs death row ? to Joe Sullivan and Ian Manuel ? who won release after being sentenced to die in prison for nonhomicide crimes in Florida when they were just 13 years old.

FAQ If you have additional questions about Just Mercy or the work of EJI, please visit. Is Just Mercy a true story? Yes. The movie is based on an actual case that is detailed in Bryan Stevenson¡Çs book, Just Mercy, published in 2014. Bryan took on Walter McMillian¡Çs case in 1988 to challenge his wrongful conviction and death sentence. Over the next six years, Bryan filed multiple legal challenges and conducted several hearings, but the trial court refused to grant Mr. McMillian a new trial despite overwhelming evidence of innocence, including the recantation of the State¡Çs main witness, Ralph Myers. Bryan appealed the ruling and the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals ordered a new trial because the State withheld evidence of Mr. McMillian¡Çs innocence. Bryan filed a motion to dismiss all charges; the trial court granted it after the district attorney acknowledged Mr. While the movie condenses the six years of litigation, it mostly tracks the actual account presented in the book. Mr. McMillian¡Çs claim of innocence attracted national attention as 60 Minutes broadcast a story about the case. The movie accurately introduces other people represented by Bryan Stevenson, including Herbert Richardson, a Vietnam War veteran who was executed in 1989, and Anthony Ray Hinton, who spent nearly 30 years on death row for a crime he did not commit. What made the Walter McMillian case unique? Sadly, while the McMillian case had some unique features, there are actually lots of people who are innocent who have been sentenced to death in the United States. Because Mr. McMillian was accused of a crime that took place in Monroeville, Alabama, the community where Harper Lee grew up and wrote the beloved novel To Kill a Mockingbird, there were interesting dynamics at play in the case. While the Monroeville community loves the Mockingbird story and took great pride in its association with the fictional characters of the book, there was tremendous resistance to recognizing Mr. McMillian¡Çs innocence despite overwhelming evidence. Walter McMillian and Ralph Myers were both placed on death row before going to trial, which is illegal and a rare form of coercion. After Mr. Myers agreed to give fal
