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.

Good story and decent movie. I have watched few similar movies so I kind of predicted the end. However don't let that put you off because it's still good movie to watch. Solid B.

Just Mercy is all about hope and compassionate hard work helping to clean a dirty System. A drop of truth amongst the dirtiness of one of the most deplorable human beliefs - the belief in supremacy. Must watch, must reflect about.

Please, no more black privilege. We wake up and black people are smothered in our faces. They are not angels, they are not even good people. This racism against whites has to end.
