The film's central conflict arises when Justin, who knows the defendant is innocent, struggles to keep his own secret about being the true perpetrator of the crime.
Nicholas Hoult's portrayal of Justin offers a compelling journey of moral conflict, where his angelic appearance contrasts sharply with his hidden guilt from hitting a woman with his vehicle.
As Justin balances his duty as a juror with the fear of implicating himself, the film cleverly weaves in modern elements, like the influence of true-crime podcasts on jury deliberations.
With Clint Eastwood's direction, the film explores themes of irony and justice, highlighting how secrets can complicate our understanding of truth and morality in such a small world.
