Runaway Jury (2003)

UNIVERSAL TV, 9.00PM ★★★

 When a stockbroker is shot in cold blood, his widow attempts to sue a gun manufacturer with the help of an idealistic lawyer (a brilliant Dustin Hoffman). But they find that there are those who will stop at nothing to bend justice for their own purposes. The film lacks the momentum of the John Grisham novel on which it’s based, but it’s still a fine drama. Rachel Weisz and Gene Hackman co-star.
