Even with its straightforward premise, “Richard Jewell” is ramped up by exceptional drama. In all honesty, the performances are out of this world.

His bumbling antics create the perfect hero, and very quickly, we feel the societal heat that surrounds our protagonists.
Emily and Stephanie are back... just add gin and drama.

When the world lost Chadwick Boseman on August 28, 2020, we all saw the impact of representation in film. Boseman was not only a Black superhero leading a Black cast in one of the most successful films in history; but his successes paved the way for more, long-overdue diversity in Hollywood.
