The Runaway Jury (2003)

I had all I could do to stay awake through this long and serpentine movie despite its stellar cast.  Based on yet another of John Grisham's courtroom sagas, it is the story of a woman suing a big gun manufacturer for her husband's wrongful death.  She is represented by Dustin Hoffman somewhat less bandstanding than he can be; the lawyer for the defense has employed Gene Hackman to manipulate the jury to their benefit.  One of the jurors is John Cusack (who is another actor who can do no wrong from my point of view), but he and his galfriend Rachel Weisz have their own agenda.  It all ends with Hackman getting his comeuppance but it is a slow slog getting there.
