Posted by Jonathan Klotz | Published 1 hour ago

Clint Eastwood is a Hollywood legend, who made a name for himself in Westerns, established his bonafide as a corrupt cop in Dirty Harry, and then stepped behind the camera for a third act as an award-winning director. At the age of 94, his career is almost over, but he came away with another directorial success Judge #2a taut legal thriller that has received rave reviews. The problem is that Warner Bros., the studio he’s worked with for 60 years, has refused to give the film a wide release, and now, while promoting its December 20th arrival at the Max, he has the gall to advertise it as a “Max Original.”

Clint Eastwood’s last film

Clint Eastwood’s last movie deserves better than being considered the first broadcast movie. Max has a few great originals, from Flight Attendant to The Penguinbut those are series, and when it comes to movies, Warner Bros. never had the first song Max. That explains why they suddenly rebranded Judge #2. It’s the same as what they did recently This is Salem’s place remake, which was supposed to be shown in theaters before the studio shelved it and grudgingly dumped it on Max after Stephen King called them out.

The fact that Judge #2 “Theatrical” could have been considered Clint Eastwood’s winner, but those citations did the trick, as the film opened in just 35 theaters and grossed less than $300,000. Warner Bros. did not report opening weekend numbers, forcing everyone to rely on third-party sources for even that estimate. Overcoming the lack of a marketing campaign and the ability of the majority of America to watch it, the thriller was at least widely praised, earning a fresh rating of 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Kind of Movie Hollywood Has Stopped Making

Judge #2 stars Nicolas Hoult as Justin Kemp, a recovering alcoholic called to jury duty who begins to realize he may have committed murder. Clint Eastwood assembled an ensemble cast, including Toni Collette as the District Attorney pursuing the case for political reasons and Chris Messina as the head public defender defending Gabriel Basso’s James Sythe. The supporting cast includes Keifer Sutherland, JK Simmons, Leslie Bibb, and Zoey Deutch.

In the world of superheroes and VFX spectacles flooding the theater, Clint Eastwood has made an old-school adult drama with a unique perspective, and maybe too quiet and considered for attention on social media, but that does not mean it should be discarded. Size. Only good thing abreleased a streaming release date Judge #2 it’s December 20, before Christmas, and it’s too late to watch the holiday.

Warner Bros. Divides Directors

Warner Bros. has been making news for years for all the wrong reasons, starting in 2020 when they clashed heavily with Christopher Nolan over the release of The Tenetwhich hit theaters during the COVID crisis but destroyed years of acclaim, drove one of the greatest directors in history to Universal, which continued to produce. Oppenheimer. Then, the studio killed Batgirl again Coyote vs. Acmetwo complete films, instead of taking them out of Max, which explains why Stephen King went after them so hard to save them This is Salem’s place. Judge #2potentially the last film from Clint Eastwood, it should have been a celebration and not another in a long line of immorality.

American Sniper, Sullyagain Richard Jewellgiving him a better record at the time than Robert Zemeckis, who received a wide release for his experimental film. Here at the same time Warner Bros. rejected Judge #2. In an industry that complains of a lack of movie stars, the way the American icon was treated at the end of his career is a testament to why fewer and fewer creators every year want to work on a studio project.
