I saw Runaway Jury at the cheap theatre last night. I'd give it a pretty good review. On the TH movie scale, it's at least a "pay matinee price" with the three main lead roles bringing it up to a "pay full price".
If you haven't seen it, you might not want to read the next paragraph. I give away a spoiler, although, I think it was obvious early that this would be the outcome and the real twists come via other devices.
They switch the setting from a tobacco company trial in the book to a gun maker trial in the movie. When the verdict was read, one or two people in the theatre clapped. I couldn't help but laughed. The verdict would be appealled and, based on a couple things that would come out, it would most likely get thrown out. The movie makers obviously knew this too since they threw in a twist that was the true victory in the movie.
