A powerful and thoughtprovoking true story, “Just Mercy” follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Jordan) and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or who were not afforded proper representation, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Larson). One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Foxx), who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the only testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political maneuverings and overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter, and others like him, with the odds—and the system—stacked against them.

Beautiful movie...watching this movie was one thing but understanding what it represents is another...thank you jamie and micheal B you played it well..I hope you also understand the parts you played in the movie..and again thank you

I was both blown away by this film and saddened too with the treatment by those appointed to care for these needs of all people, not just those with a certain status or skin colour. The fantastic acting by Michael B Jordan and Jamie Foxx puts you in each moment perfectly and help you feel each emotional beat which cannot help you to feel the injustice that was so prelevant then, and sadly still now. I would recommend this film to all.

Michael B Jordan and ESPECIALLY Jamie Foxx put on incredible performances, in a poignant and very important film. Do not sleep on this one.
