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.

I'm personally sick and tired of hearing about this. Enough already. When do I get to cry about my life. Slavery in America has ended. It's fair game. The good guy's against the bad. We stood stand together. This is fuel for the fire. Black history month, Juneteenth, good F-N GOD ✌️👩‍💻

4 and a half out of 5. A powerful, unstoppable true story that will bring the tears. B. Jordan packs a punch and so does other actors in the film. I wasn't the biggest fan of the way it was filmed but with good true story drama and hope that overtakes it, also the film delving into investigation and mention of slavery well.
