An interesting film with a lovable character, Richard Jewell. The film is based on 1996 bomb explosion at the Olympics in LA. Richard Jewell is a security guard who identifies the suspicious package and alerts the concerned officials. While he saved hundred of lives he also becomes the prime suspect. Paul Walter is very good as Richard Jewell. Credit goes to director Clint Eastwood for taking a simple story and converting it into an interesting film. Kathy Bates as Richard Jewell’s mom has received a deserving oscar nomination for her performance.
