Excellent movie. God bless the lawyer and everyone else like him today. Racism is simply stupid since our only difference is colour.
Give this movie based on a true story an OSCAR for best picture & the main actors. It was an amazing & heartbreaking movie
It was so realistic to the innocents of being lied & lack of evidence to being placed in death row. Just because you're of low income & black. There is too much bigotry & hatred in the Deep South. They need the FBI to take a good look at the police force down there. I cried when through trials & tribulations was finally set free. What a remarkable lawyer for standing up for the innocent victims. May he Rest In Peace for all the good he has done for his follow man. And all those men & women who continue to fight & never give up. You are wonderful keep up the good work
This was a fantastic movie and I love the fact it's based on a true story! The casting was excellent, the actors did a great job of bringing this story to life, and the time just flew by as it captivated me from beginning to end. I find it truly shocking that people continue to be treated like that, even in modern times. Anyone with a heart can expect to get emotional in parts, but when it's over you'll be very glad you saw it. I highly recommend it !!!
Rivetting movie, a must see.
Factual. In your face racism. Thank God this man was finally free. Must see
So honestly frightening that our world can be so self-serving and blind. Fantastic acting. Totally captured my emotions.
Great movie! I couldn't help but cry during the movie. This is a must-see true story. I would like to see schools, church groups, civic clubs and community groups, etc. see this movie.
This is a must see movie. The acting is beautiful. Based on a true story of the wrongfully accused in the deep south, and yet in our times, 1987. Its hard to believe that this is still happening, and thank God for the courageous young black lawyer that took the cause and has built a fair charitable justice organization as a result. These are stories worth telling, these are stories worth seeing. This is Oscar worthy entertainment.
Just Mercy is an OUTSTANDING portrayal of speaking TRUTH to POWER. Bryan Stevenson’s iconic VISION to use his HARVARD law degree to raise critical, courageous questions which address the bigotry of INHUMANE and illegal judicial practices heaped strongly upon the impoverished. Stevenson’s premise consistently shows the violated criminal proceedings and snatches credibility when he frames the legal parameters around Courageous legal briefs, petitions and motions. PERHAPS more profound than the RIGHT to LIVE Bryan raises the question: Does the judicial system have the RIGHT to KILL?!
