Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/vehicle crash/domestic violence/bodily functions/medical/reference to racism, I will also be making reference to a hand gesture in this content.

I will try to get out of it: briefly; Justin Kemp [Nicholas Hoult:] he is a journalist, that is recovering from an addiction, he gets called up for jury duty, but he and his wife Allison "Ally" Crewson [Zoey Deutch:] she is a local schoolteacher, but she is currently off due to expecting a baby very shortly. I mean he does try to get out of it, but he is unsuccessful.

Generally speaking: the script, framework and pacing is in my opinion problematic, as you will find out in the final section of this content, but for here and now I can tell you that I was not amused by any of this and to give you a smidgen of taste; I can't stand the fact that this project changes from a location to location film title meaning it just has to focus on what is here and now and you can get away from the project in question having an out and out ending it is all about what we are focusing on in this project; that is or what matters to a everyday film [beginning, middle and end.] Which in turn makes the framework and pacing of this 114 minutes film difficult to judge, because on one hand it works to a good standard and on the other hand it doesn't work, because it isn't designed to turn into an everyday film; in a nutshell I was and am not amused with this; that is for sure.

Art and comedy; this project is a very clean and well presented project; they really went with the idea of realism and look out for an interpretation of American Gothic.

Character developments and performances; I have to be honest broadly speaking some of the character developments are really annoying as in; they quickly wanted to vote one way to quickly go home, sync with performances to put that across as putting themselves first over this massive job. But putting that to one side the character developments and performances are good versions of what they are meant to be.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; the whole layout of the film for me is incredibly annoying, frustrating and without giving too much away, I really don't like films that leave this gaping hole massive question-mark, as I have already referenced it was just a situation to situation based outlay of a film, the outcome of the film would be irrelevant, because that is out of the parameters of the situation to situation bases, preferably a situation would have just been useful. But as we go back and forth between home and the court case/jury room or/and including going outside, hence why this situation to situation bases is applied here. But as soon as it begins to edge towards running as a normal film then you open yourself up to; a beginning, middle and end outlay or suggestive of one out of two outlays; meaning allow your audience to come to their own conclusions would also be another way, which if done correctly would be an articulat and satisfying conclusion, but to go with this ending/ending style, I just have to call it as I see it; it looks and feels like a flying of the middle finger to your audience.
