“The world will know his name and the truth.”
Richard Jewell thinks quick, works fast, and saves hundreds, perhaps thousands, of lives after a domestic terrorist plants several pipe bombs and they explode during a concert, only to be falsely suspected of the crime by sloppy FBI work and sensational media coverage.
This film is a simmering portrait of an ordinary man caught in an extraordinary nightmare. It's a frustrating, indignant experience, highlighting the crushing weight of false accusation and relentless media scrutiny. The mood is tense and somber, a cautionary tale unfolding with a grounded, steady realism.
