Summary:
A powerful and thought-provoking true story follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or who were not afforded proper representation, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley. One of his first and most incendiary cases is that of Walter McMillian. "Strong performances, especially by Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx and Tim Blake Nelson, help make the message a movie."--Toronto Star. "This is Jordan and Foxx's show, and the duo has terrific acting chemistry - even when "Just Mercy" stretches on a bit longer than maybe it needs to."--New York Post. "'Just Mercy' is a handsome, impeccably mounted tribute to his activism and also his fellow advocates."--Los Angeles Times.
