Brief - 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 Release Date - 2019 Runtime - 137 Min country - USA 8,2 / 10 Stars writer - Bryan Stevenson, Destin Daniel Cretton.

Just mercy movie based on true story. If I was to list this film's greatest strength, that would be its ability to pull you into the characters' situation and feel their sense of frustration at the injustice they face. The film opens with one man being aggressively arrested for a crime he didn't commit, then transitions to a young student visiting prison for the first time, where he meets a peer who turns out to be more relatable than expected. From there, the audience sees how these men are driven, what they're fighting for, and how it effects their lives as well as the community around them.

Michael B Jordan, as usual, was fantastic. He did a great job portraying this young idealist who, despite being Harvard educated and possessing solid evidence, finds himself unable to make the difference he originally thought he could. Jamie Foxx's performance was also great; he displayed genuine vulnerability and emotion as this embittered, beaten-down (but still somewhat hopeful) man in a cruel world. I had no issues with the technical aspects of this movie; they didn't do anything special nor did they do anything wrong. This being a legal drama, the script might feel a bit predictable to some, and some of the dialog/speeches seemed a bit too grandiose for real life. There are a few scenes, especially the two montages set to music, that felt a bit cliched, but this movie also has two particular sequences (which I won't spoil here) in the second half that are very effective and powerful. Overall, this is a well-made and well-acted movie adapted from a pretty important true story, so I would recommend it to anyone interested in criminal justice or simply anyone who enjoys cinema made with a purpose. *P.S, don't watch the full trailer; it showed way too much from the third act of the movie. I don't count that against the film itself, as the marketing team is separate from the cast and crew, but I just wanted to warn people.

"Just Mercy, " the new film about crusading?attorney Bryan Stevenson (played by Michael B. Jordan), focuses on?Walter McMillian (Jamie Foxx), a wrongfully convicted death-row inmate from?Monroeville, Alabama ? the birthplace of Harper Lee, whose beloved novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" dealt with a lawyer fighting to free an innocent African-American defendant. The?location, and the?reaction of proud locals who?resisted Stevenson's efforts to free McMillian, were true. "It was ironic to have people in the community tell me, 'You¡Çre a lawyer, you should go to the "To Kill a Mockingbird"?Museum, '" Stevenson says.?"I had the same response every time:?'I'd love to, but I¡Çm really busy freeing an innocent black man who has been wrongly convicted of a crime and?facing execution. '?The?disconnect between romanticizing that story and indifference to injustice in?a real wrongful conviction, that very much parallels my story. " Jordan, who also executive produced "Just Mercy" (in theaters now in New York and LA, opens nationwide Friday),?based on Stevenson's 2014 memoir of the same name, thought it vital to lean into the truth. "After meeting the man and understanding his work, to tell an honest portrayal is the only morally correct thing to do, " Jordan says. Here's how that?goes down in "Just Mercy. " Our 'Just Mercy' review: Performances by Michael B. Jordan, Jamie?Foxx elevate?predictable?legal drama' Walter McMillian was nearly put to death for a crime he did not commit One of young lawyer Stevenson's first?and most incendiary?cases after founding the non-profit Equal Justice Initiative was McMillian, who had been sentenced to die in 1988?for the murder of an 18-year-old white woman on dubious?evidence. After a day-and-a-half trial, the jury ignored multiple black witnesses who testified that McMillan?was at a fish fry at the time of the crime. As shown in the film,?McMillan was ordered held on?death row even before his trial started. "It¡Çs the only case I have ever worked on?where my client spent months on death row, before ever having been convicted, " says Stevenson. "The newspapers would refer to him as 'death row defendant Walter McMillan. '?All of that led to the conditions that would make the wrongful conviction almost inevitable. That¡Çs very accurate to what happened to Walter. " Bryan Stevenson was intimidated and threatened during the case Just as in the film, Stevenson received death threats for his?work. "You're trying to do the right thing,?trying to obtain justice and your life is being threatened, " Jordan says. Stevenson says a scene where prison guards subjected him to a strip search?took place. Likewise, he?was pulled over and held at gunpoint?without provocation by police. "I had police officers pull their weapons out, point the gun at my head, and say, 'Move and I¡Çll blow your brains out, ' " Stevenson says. "Sadly, it¡Çs a scene that¡Çs familiar to a lot of people in this country. " Eva Ansley (played by Brie Larson) plays a large role in the film's fledgling?Equal Justice Initiative, which provides legal representation to prisoners who may have been wrongly convicted of crimes. Now operations director of EJI, Ansley has been an integral part?since the organization's?beginnings. Some EJI actions depicted during?McMillian's long fight for freedom?involved other lawyers. But for the sake of storytelling, these deeds?were incorporated through Larson's Ansley. "When we had to figure out how to represent the other work, it was easy to decide that it should be represented through Eva¡Çs commitment and the work she has done, " Stevenson says. A pivotal '60 Minutes' expose really did turn?the tide for McMillian McMillian's case eventually drew?national attention and was the subject of a 1992 "60 Minutes" expose that showed how flimsy the case was against the convicted man awaiting death by electrocution. "Perception is everything.?To be able to put the facts out there for the world to see brought the pressure of society and helped wrongs get righted, " Jordan says. "That '60 Minutes' piece helped Walter McMillian?get off death row. " In 1993, Alabama's Court of Criminal Appeals heard his case again. After turning down four previous appeals,?the court ruled?that McMillian?had been wrongfully convicted. McMillian was freed after six years on death row and remained close with Stevenson until his death?in 2013. While the timeline of the case was condensed for story reasons,?Stevenson says he was relieved and impressed with the filmmakers'?efforts?for?accuracy. "It was remarkable, " says Stevenson, who can laugh about one aspect of Jordan's realistic portrayal. "I told Michael the one area where he?didn't?have to be authentic was my body. He didn't have to lose the "Black Panther"/"Creed" body. He could keep all of those abs to play me. I wanted him to go on a warrior diet. ".

Jordan, Jamie Foxx, Rob Morgan, Tim Blake Nelson, Rafe Spall, and Brie Larson. It tells the true story of Walter McMillian, who, with the help of young defense attorney Bryan Stevenson, appeals his murder conviction. The film is based on the memoir of the same name, written by Stevenson. [5] Just Mercy had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2019, and was theatrically released by Warner Bros. Pictures on December 25, 2019. The film received positive reviews from critics, and Foxx received a nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role at the 26th Screen Actors Guild Awards. Plot [ edit] In 1989, idealistic young Harvard law graduate Bryan Stevenson travels to Alabama hoping to help fight for poor people who cannot afford proper legal representation. He meets with Eva Ansley and founds the Equal Justice Initiative, then travels to a prison to meet its death row inmates. He meets Walter "Johnny D. " McMillian, an African-American man who was convicted of the 1986 murder of Ronda Morrison, a white woman. Stevenson looks over the evidence in the case and discovers it hinges entirely on the testimony of convicted felon Ralph Myers, who provided highly self-contradictory testimony in exchange for a lighter sentence in his own pending trial. Stevenson's first move is to ask prosecutor Tommy Chapman for aid; Chapman dismisses him without even looking at Stevenson's notes. Stevenson then asks McMillian family friend Darnell Houston to testify that he was with a witness who corroborated Myers' testimony the day of the murder, which would cause the prosecution's case to fall apart. When Stevenson submits Houston's testimony, police arrest him for perjury. While Stevenson is able to get the perjury charges dismissed, Houston is intimidated into refusing to testify in court. Stevenson then approaches Myers himself, who eventually admits that his testimony was coerced after police played to his fear of being burned and threatened to have him executed by electric chair. Stevenson appeals to the local court to grant McMillan a retrial. and successfully convinces Myers to recant his testimony on the stand, but the judge nevertheless refuses to grant a retrial. Distraught, Stevenson vents his frustrations about the case to Ansley. He appears on 60 Minutes to rally public support in favor of McMillan, then appeals to the Supreme Court of Alabama. The Supreme Court overturns the circuit court's decision, and grants McMillan his retrial. Stevenson then motions to have the charges dismissed entirely. He confronts Chapman at his home and tries to convince him to join him in his motion; Chapman angrily ejects him from his property. The day of the motion comes, and Stevenson appeals to the judge. Chapman agrees to join him in his motion, the case is dismissed, and McMillan is finally reunited with his family. An epilogue notes that Stevenson and Ansley continue to fight for justice to the present day. Until his death in 2013, McMillan remained friends with Stevenson. A follow-up investigation into Morrison's death confirmed McMillan's innocence and posited that a white man was likely responsible; the case has never been solved.
