The remake of Naked Gun is also mentioned. I for one won’t be watching it. Doesn’t translate well to 2025 tastes. It will either be about a minute long or it won’t be funny. Extremely unlikely to be anywhere near the level of the original. Another movie which should be left well alone….

Airplane is an all-time classic. Unfortunately it’s not DEI/woke-friendly and would never get made in 2025, not a snowball in Hell’s chance. Hopefully they don’t ruin its legacy by remaking it. Airplane 2 is mentioned here. There is actually a sequel - which came out 2 years after the original. However the humour is lost, one movie was enough and it falls well short of the standards of the original. It’s really something for completists & due-hard fans…

Airplane isof its time so many of the jokes will not be fully understood by a modern audience

I just really don’t understand how 5 other people just have Justin decide for them.. sway them to vote non guilty and able to sway them back.

I believe she was there to convince herself that it was all worth it, to see that he is the good man he claims himself to be. Hence, no police.

Maybe she just came to see the baby. She really had no evidence that he did anything, nor did she have the authority to do anything about it.

Great episode!

Alot of people in the comments are missing something very crucial .. J2 is not the only one that will have sleepless nights. So will the prosecutor..it was her case... and has alot to lose if she came forward with the truth. Her DA position that she just won would be in question.. her reputation as lawyer etc. Ppl saying she the one that bought the truck.. makes no sense .. in the final scene as J2 was coming into the living room , j2 stated that the truck was sold.with what looked like a check in his hand. unless they sold it to carmax or something with out telling the audience 😒.. now way its was implied that the prosecutor obtained the truck.. The ending shows us with two people meeting and understanding that they will forever have to carry this burden if they dont come forward with the truth...

My experience with this movie is that at some point I started thinking that he THOUGHT he had killed her but a third person (not Sythe) would eventually come up as the actual killer and the whole movie would just be about the moral contradictions and have a happy ending LOL silly me. It still not super obvious to me that he killed her. Also a lot of details I have seen in the comments are too subtle and can be interpreted in different ways. Like why does everyone say that Faith bought the car? Why would she do that? Did he drink or didn't he? Well, we never actually SEE him drink so I stand by the facts LOL. etc etc. Everything is so ambiguous it's almost impossible to even have an opinion about this movie. It almost feels amateur at times and there are a lot of clichès like the police cars passing by and the like. I dunno...not my favourite Clint Eastwood movie.

You are wrong. The ending with the prosecutor on the doorstep is much better. The prosecutor goes to the end, goes for justice. If you listen to what the main character says to the prosecutor on the bench in the scene preceding the final one, he manipulates her, declaring that her career will go down the drain if the case is reopened, he says that the family of the innocent will suffer, and the criminal will be released from prison. At the same time, the main character is not innocent, and the person who ended up behind bars was convicted not according to the law. The film has a great ending. The prosecutor goes to the end, not thinking about her political career, goes for justice.

I think the ending was perfect. I sparked a huge convo in my house because it was so left open. I think she bought the car for evidence and was coming to pick it up since she has no grounds for a warrent. The look she gave was essentially "I'm taking this car for evidence, and im not letting this go" But there are many other things it could mean too. My friend thinks she was buying the car to reluctantly hide any evidence of its involvement since they were both too deep and had too much to lose. That's what makes the ending so good.

Whether it "justifies" its ending? It's the ending of the original movie and the 1979 remake. It doesn't NEED to justify it.

The ending was left up to interpretation. The police cars definitely are going to show his continuing guilt for the foreseeable future. The DA showing up is perhaps to ask him and to reveal to him that she knows he did it and that he needs to turn himself in or that she was going to work with him for the convicted murder to get a new trail..

Agreed that the sirens would have been the better ending. I love Clint, but I have to admit he sometimes misses when he goes back for seconds on the ending lol

He's totally fucked. His lawyer friend scared him when he told him you're looking at 30 years if you turn yourself in, which I doubt, had he came forward as soon as he found out what he did i think a jury and judge would have believed him, he would have got a very light sentence. But now that he knowingly put an innocent man in prison for life to save his own ass, a jury and a judge are going to throw the book at him. This was a DARK ending, beautifully done

What you thought was the perfect ending is what I thought the actual ending was. I was surprised it kept on playing

I thought near the end where they were showing the parking lot scene that somehow James really did end up killing his girlfriend. That would of been the perfect ending.... how? i don't know, maybe someone really saw him do it.

Part 2 hopefully coming soon!!!!!

It ended like that because there will be a sequel!

The prosecutor would have looked like a fool for siting on evidence that could have saved a man's life, and she would have lost her election. She was more concerned for a political position than justice being served. Too often innocent men are convicted just so that the general public is comforted to know that someone is paying for a crime. She should have entered his home, given the mother a baby gift, and held his newborn. Justice isn't the same as truth, The drunk abusive boyfriend should never have left her to walk home in the rain while she was intoxicated in the first place, so justice was served.

Dinner for one. I watched it again this year - of course. It doesn't need describing or explanation. It certainly doesn't need indepth analysis. The narrator's intro is sufficient. Just WATCH it! One would need to be as thick as 3 short planks to NOT understand it sufficiently to enjoy it. SMH I watched it with my Chinese friend, whose English skills are far from 100%. She understood perfectly and laughed all the way through.

I don’t agree. I kinda cringed when I saw the siren scene. It’s been used in too many stories. A simple knock on the door would’ve sufficed the paranoia, and ad to that the protagonist’s delusion that “sometimes truth is not justice” justification was plenty to translate the writer’s ideas. I wish they’d shown the suspect being content and peaceful in jail to contradict the protagonists situation.

I like the structure of the Podcast

I think it's clear, she showed up to give him the message that he really needs to turn himself in: it needs to be HIS decision. Why? Because earlier, when talking about overcoming his alcoholism, he said he is not the same person he once was in that he chose to take self-responsibility. That said, I think this ending is spoiled by the detail that she turns up at his home while he's with his wife and child. This seems to be more coercive, like if he doesn't do the right thing she's going to let the wife know just who her husband is. The knock on his door was too dramatic -- it should've happened in a much more neutral place.

If you liked this movie, watch Reservation Road with Mark Ruffalo

it was clean!

idk if its a kids movie. it went hard as all hell.

I think she’s gna give him 24 hours before she turns him in

I did love that the movie had morals in regards to loss and revenge. Feels like a kids' movie from an older time.

"But it's a kid's movie!" "And?"

What a load of yap.

I thought it was an interesting sequel. A different villain, expanded mythology, etc…

It feels like the movie could’ve ended three times already before it did 1) right after the conversation on the bench, 2) showing the happy family 3) after the police car guilt. I would’ve liked either one of those better than the ending that was chosen.

I believe the key was when his wife said, "The car is sold." Even though it had been repaired there's a good chance the victim's DNA would've still been detectable through blood and tissue fragments. That was the only way he could've been proven guilty beyond doubt. DNA gets you every time. I believe she knew that and purchased the SUV to run tests. She's coming to tell him the result.

good vid

You guys don't understand the movie or its theme. It's not about catching the bad guy.

"The truth will always come out". I disagree. Lots of unsolved cases. And possibly cases we thought were solved but we don't know for sure.

It’s more satisfying to know that the innocent man will not serve life in prison

Eastwood committed the same goof even worse in Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil, which had a great ending .... but then it tacked on a little epilog with a much weaker ending ... then it tacked on another epilog with a ridiculous, even weaker ending. Despite being purportedly based on a nonfiction book, both epilogs are totally fabricated for the movie. Good film that left an awful aftertaste because it just wouldn't quit once it succeeded.

Do you think she showed up to the house to buy the car? To taunt him and let him know she’s not going to let it go.. Am I the only one..

Not sure if it's mentioned, but while open to the viewer, I think I interpreted it this way...Before the prosecutor knocks on the door, he says well the car is sold. It obvious she was investigating on her own and and had the conversation on the bench outside the courthouse that made it clear to here what happened...She is now been elected DA and has is free to pursue this even further...she chooses to do just this...this has most likely talked with the detective that was on the jury and has his testimony of being followed, has reviewed the phone video that night at the bar which I'm sure has juror 2 visable at some point in it when after she reviewed the full footage, Now that she is DA she can wield her power...the final piece..."The 4Runner is offically sold" as he drops the check on the table implying it has just be purchased and driven away by the new owner...the state of Georgia at the direction of the DA...She is there to offer a plea deal with fear that the state now has the the vehicle in their possession to possibly obtain DNA as well as a vehicle of reference for the old man to identify vs what the accused man car drove and not actual the "person"....she is willing to pursue it regardless as pursuing a new case with new evidence will allow an appeal to succeed an set free the innocent defendant and as juror 2 said may result in her losing her DA position on re-election if her case fails against him...she is willing to do such that as she feels being elected DA allows her to right a wrong and set an innocent man free...as this was why she was destined to be elected DA even if it meant for just a small time if it meant freeing an innocent man...she takes the high road while he took the low road. Also there are moments that will define Juror 2s life even if he gets off...like at the bridge...he drops his sobriety chip...if are not to believe he was sober that night (even though it is portrayed this way" this dropping of the chip symbolizes he did fall off the wagon and was drunk...if he was sober, this dropping of his chip at the site of the accident symbolizes that even if he gets away with it, it will eat at him and he will fall back into alcohol abuse and everything he is doing to be that family is in vain as he has now forfeited his chip...dropped it...his family will be lost anyway.

That movie never had a perfect anything and you’re incredibly off on your explanation but I guess that’s your opinion for whatever that’s worth

I like the ending but my issue is that Toni wouldn’t be the one showing up to his house, it would be the cops. Unless she went to let him know that she was pursuing him, in which case it would be a huge mistake because she’d be giving him a heads up and he could lam it.

Yeah the last few min brought it down from a 5/5 to a 4/5 for me. I still loved it though because I love courtroom dramas.

why didn't he just say he was at the bar that night, he wouldn't have been picked as a juror?

I would've preferred this approach. The 1st quarter of the movie given the revelation of what might have happened and the stakes of 40yrs without any recourse is the punchline. The ethical dilemma for his ability to clear the defendant should be the main focus. The next part is that of hit & run theory should've been concluded with the reveal of juror 2 being a prime suspect. The part of cedric piecing it together with the should have pushed it over and have the barmaid pay more attention, adding in the old man from the bridge.... Forcing Nicholas holt to react with the panic attacks and run. Throw in the idea of an OJ style high speed dash with the stand off plea from his wife to seek help and not to kill himself.

I first thought the actual ending was a bit of cop-out since it allows the viewer to choose the ending he wants. But now I think its ok, because the decision is never final. At any point for the rest of his life, J2 will always have the option of confessing. He is not just condemning an innocent man to prison, but every day is another day of him deciding to continue the man's jail time. The situation of him at the door in front of the prosecutor is where he is for the resr of his life.

I thought the movie was going to end at the police sirens as well.

It may just be me but the ending hit me. I know Toni Collette was coming for him.. her face said it all! I’m not mad at the ending.

Just watched I had a feeling it was gonna end like that you kinda get the gist of whats gonna happen though, it being a total accident he'll prob get 5 years max for good behavior or something, very surreal movie too, clint Eastwood does not miss
