Can one blemish mar an otherwise perfect jewel?
That's the question movie-goers have to decide regarding Clint Eastwood's new movie about the man suspected in the bombing at Centennial Park during the 1996 Olympics.
Sadly, for the Movie Slut this flaw is too great to give the film a rave, and sadly, it's a totally unnecessary misstep. In his zeal to pinpoint a villain, Eastwood shows—and names—a real reporter trading sex for an FBI tip. No matter, that this is a fictitious plot point. And exacerbating this outrage, the named reporter died and is therefore unable to defend herself.
The Movie Slut is outraged!!!!! Especially since the heart of this movie is about the ruination of a man who was wrongly accused of a crime he didn't commit. Irony alert!
Eastwood should be ashamed of himself and sued into smithereens. He not only besmirched the memory of this reporter, but belittled his film and the sensational acting by Paul Walter Hauser (Jewell), Kathy Bates (his mother), Sam Rockwell, (his lawyer), Jon Hamm (the FBI agent), and Olivia Wilde (the maligned journalist Kathy Scruggs).
