There are no good guys in this movie. (SPOILERS)


I used to love this Film, but i can't bear it anymore. The storyline is interesting and makes sense, but part of the movie's message is "doing wrong things for the right reasons", that is not a good thing! The 2 main characters played by Rachel Weisz and John Cusack are presented as the good guys, the thing is they are not the good guys at all! They are just as bad as Gene Hackman's character, what he did was wrong, but them getting revenge the way that they did is not the answer! He should have paid for what he did back in Gardner, Indiana, they could have gone after him legally, instead of going after him sneakily.

Weisz and Cusack's characters were manipulative and they were basically breaking the law with what they did to get Jurors kicked off the Jury e.c.t.

Manipulating people and situations isn't the right way to get justice, they lowered themselves to Hackman's level to get money and to make him pay, how is that any different than what he did to people?!
