JUST MERCY

The true story of civil right lawyer Bryan Stevenson (played by Michael B. Jordan) who dedicates his life to free innocent men on death row in Alabama. The movie primarily deals with the case of Walter McMillian (played by Jamie Foxx), who wrongly spent 6 years on death row between the years 1987-1993. Going in to this, you know what to expect: a heartfelt story about the injustice the criminal justice system and racism can reap and sow. Other than the tragedy that this story is, the performances are flat. Oscar bait, one in which I don't think the Academy will bite as this is a pretty forgettable movie. 6/10
