REPTILE (2023) Grade: C

Starts off with a good 1st act. Has your attention. Some good moments, missing a better explanation for the hook. The turns weren't pulse pounding. A little long as well. Didn't need to be 2 hours.

The wrong man

Title: “Richard Jewell”

Release date: In theaters Dec. 13, 2019

Starring: Paul Walter Hauser, Sam Rockwell, Kathy Bates, Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde, Ian Gomez, Dylan Kussman, Wayne Duvall, Mike Pniewski, Nina Arianda

Directed by: Clint Eastwood

Run time: 2 hours, 9 minutes

Rated: R

What it’s about: Based on the true story, security guard Richard Jewell saves lives by finding a bomb in Centennial Olympic Park during the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta, then becomes the FBI’s chief suspect and the focus of media scrutiny and harassment.

How I saw it: The best way to watch “Richard Jewell,” director Clint Eastwood’s and writer Billy Ray’s factual-and-not take on the bombing of Centennial Olympic Park during the 1996 Atlanta Summer Games, would be to put all politics aside. But good luck with that. This is 2019, and everything is fair game for political division. And there’s no getting around the political purpose here, which is fine if you lean right and view the government with suspicion and the media with disgust. Lean left, though, and there is plenty here to get rankled about, so much so that you could miss some universal truisms about what it would be like to be an ordinary person overwhelmed by a situation, an overzealous government entity and feeding-frenzy media.

Ray’s story is based on a Vanity Fair article, “American Nightmare: The Ballad of Richard Jewell” by Marie Brenner; and a book, “The Suspect,” by Kent Alexander and Kevin Salwen, but the film is not a documentary. Jewell (Paul Thomas Hauser) was a security guard and law enforcement wannabe who was working at a concert in Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta on July 27, 1996, when he discovered a backpack he believed to be suspicious. Three pipe bombs were inside, and Jewell helped save lives by alerting law enforcement and helping clear the area. The bombing killed two people and injured 111. Jewell became a hero in the aftermath, as the national media rushed to tell his story. But his fame turned to notoriety when the FBI started investigating him as a suspect. The Atlanta Journal Constitution broke the story, and national reporters soon converged on the home of Jewell and his mother Bobi (Kathy Bates) as he was tried in the court of popular opinion.

Jewell was later exonerated, and Eastwood’s film leaves no doubt about his innocence from the get-go. Jewell never was charged; Eric Rudolph later confessed to the bombing and others in a plea deal. Jewell sued several media outlets for libel, getting several settlements but not from the owners of the Journal Constitution. He died in 2007 at age 44 from complications of diabetes.

“Richard Jewell” takes painstaking efforts (to a fault, at least in one instance) to paint the government and media as the villains here. Just in case viewers couldn’t figure that out, Jewell’s antisocial lawyer, Watson Bryant (Sam Rockwell), sits in his office in front of a sticker that reads, “I FEAR GOVERNMENT MORE THAN I FEAR TERRORISM.” The FBI heavy here is a fictional character, Tom Shaw (Jon Hamm), who is the point man in the investigation of Jewell and often refers to being “authentic” while deceiving Jewell at every turn. Shaw does not concede even when it becomes clear that Jewell could not have committed the crime. When he hands Jewell and Bryant a letter saying Jewell is no longer a person of interest, he tells Bryant he thinks Jewell “is guilty as hell.”

Much of the criticism of Eastwood’s movie is about the main media villain, Journal Constitution reporter Kathy Scruggs (Olivia Wilde). In the film, Scruggs (the name of the reporter who broke the story in real life) is portrayed as basically a stripper turned loose as a newspaper reporter. She offers Shaw sexual favors for leaking the news that Jewell was a suspect (those who knew Scruggs say this would not have happened). In the film, she is at Centennial Olympic Park at the time of the bombing, and afterwards she prays with a fellow reporter not for the safety of those involved but that they find the bomber first and that he be “interesting.” The real-life Scruggs is not around to defend herself, having died in 2001 of a drug overdose at age 42.

At best, the decision to make Scruggs one of the main villains is tone deaf in 2019. Saying that she offered sex in exchange for information is not going to float in the #MeToo era, even if there had been evidence it had happened. The Scruggs character has created unintentional consequences. Many in the media now see her as the victim in a story intended to remind us that Jewell was indeed a victim. And for some, it already was asking a lot to see a middle-aged, Southern, gun-loving white man as sympathetic character (the film often reminds us that Jewell is white, part of fitting the profile of a bomber). This take on Scruggs gave everyone wanting to dislike an Eastwood movie an easy out.

Lost in the political controversy: “Richard Jewell” is a well-made, simply shot and economically told movie that could have been a powerful statement without embellishment. And the criticism is likely to overshadow an exceptional, awards-worthy, can’t-miss performance by Hauser. His body posturing and mannerisms tell much of the story, and Hauser’s Jewell explodes with emotion when he eventually decides, with Bryant’s help, to quit being the aw-shucks nice guy and fight back against the law enforcement he so desperately wanted to be a part of. Rockwell and Bates get a lot of depth out of their parts, which is not unexpected.

Underneath Eastwood’s agenda is a statement about how any of us, regardless of political affiliation or lack thereof, could, in the perfect storm, be targeted by a bullheaded FBI agent, a sensationalistic reporter or a fickle public. It is a lesson in how what makes us individuals – in Jewell’s case, it was his fascination with weapons and law enforcement, his eagerness to help, his politeness, his momma’s boy status and his apparent dimwittedness – also can make us seem suspicious when viewed through the wrong eyes and in the wrong situation. Not everyone in the government and the media is out to get us. But, in “Richard Jewell,” we are reminded that it’s not out of the realm for them to come after us, either.

My score: 79 out of 100

Should you see it? Yes, if you take it with a grain of salt. Even if you do not agree with its heavy-handed politics, it is solid, well-acted filmmaking and a reminder that any of us could be hero or villain, depending on who is deciding.

RICHARD JEWELL (2019)

Starring Paul Walter Hauser, Sam Rockwell, Kathy Bates, Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde, Nina Arianda, Ian Gomez, Wayne Duvall, Charles Green, Mike Pniewski, Grant Roberts, Alan Heckner, Desmond Phillips, Alex Collins, Michael Otis, Izzy Herbert, Kelly Collins Lintz, Jonathan D Bergman, Eric Mendenhali and David Shae.

Screenplay by Billy Ray.

Directed by Clint Eastwood.

Distributed by Warner Bros. 131 minutes. Rated R.

Richard Jewell is the epitome of a tragic hero. One day by chance, he stumbled into true heroism. As a security guard at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, he found an abandoned backpack near the soundstage at a celebratory concert. (Uninteresting trivia fact: the band that was playing at the time was Jack Mack and the Heart Attack.) Most of the police and law enforcement thought it was probably just the property of one of the concert goers.

However, Jewell, who had been trying unsuccessfully to get into law enforcement for a decade, was made deeply uneasy by it. The bomb squad was called, and it was a homemade pipe bomb. Jewell helped to abandon the area and helped to save the lives of many people (but not everyone) when the bomb exploded.

Jewell reacted humbly and surprised when he was declared a hero for his part in the affair, saying that it was a group effort. For a few days, he was an international idol.

However, because he was a little odd – quirky, overweight, a bit of a mama’s boy, a law-and-order wannabe, a gun enthusiast, overly solicitous – he quickly became the top suspect in the crime. Within a matter of days, his was in the middle of a media circus and life was destroyed. He was looked at with scorn and derision for the rest of his days. Even after the real bomber confessed years later, probably about half of the people who had an opinion on the matter still thought that Jewell was probably the bomber. (It didn’t help that the real bomber’s confession got much less notice than the lynch mob mentality that came after Jewell originally.)

In an ad for the film, director Clint Eastwood calls Jewell’s story on of the great tragedies of recent years. Eastwood is being somewhat hyperbolic but is not totally wrong. The story brings out the best in Eastwood as a filmmaker – he always has a good eye for true stories but tends to be a bit of a dull storyteller – making one of his best films ever. Unlike museum pieces like Flags of My Father or slightly muddled social commentary like Sully, Richard Jewell feels real, it breathes, and is quietly insightful.

Of course, Eastwood, bless his conservative little heart, must heap all the scorn and responsibility he can on the FBI and the media. This is not to say that both did not deserve to be criticized for their roles in this affair; they do. However, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has had to file a formal complaint for the way that Richard Jewell portrayed the late journalist Kathy Scruggs as a talentless, unfeeling, unethical hack who was more than willing to trade sex for information. Jewell’s real-life lawyer has acknowledged that there was no reason to believe that there was any accuracy to that representation. That is a little tone deaf for a film that is based on the true story of a man whose life and reputation was forever besmirched due to false accusations.

Still, if you overlook this flaw, Richard Jewell is an arresting film; smart, savvy, a little depressing and sometimes surprisingly funny. And the acting is just terrific.

This is particularly surprising because the title character is played by a relatively unknown actor. Paul Walter Hauser is probably best known for his breakout role as Jeff Gilooly’s stupid co-conspirator in another film about a 1990s media circus – last year’s I Tonya. He also appeared in BlacKkKlansman (also based on a true story, hmmm…) and for recurring roles on The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and the Karate Kid spin off web series Cobra Kai.

Hauser’s lack of name recognition is highlighted by the fact that he gets fifth billing in a movie in which he plays the title character; the main character. (I have rectified that slight above, putting him first in the cast listing, where he belongs.) He may not be a huge star, but he nails the role and holds Richard Jewell together. He plays a complicated man and makes you feel for him – you may not always agree with him, but you know his heart was in the right place.

Kathy Bates gets her best role in years as his mother Bobbie; a sweet, smart, loving and protective mama bear whose life is also unmoored as her son is vilified. Sam Rockwell is terrific as Jewell’s flawed but loyal defense attorney – however, he’s just playing a typical Rockwell character, as is Jon Hamm as the single-minded federal agent who is certain that Jewell is the bomber. Olivia Wilde is good as reporter Scruggs as written – but as noted above the character is broadly constructed and a slightly stereotypical archetype.

However, they are not the soul of Richard Jewell. It is the sad, confused face of Hauser when he realizes that even though he has done everything right, in his finest moment he is being vilified by a world which only looks at him superficially.

Richard Jewell died too young in 2007, a man somewhat exonerated but still untrusted and tainted in history. All of this is because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and he followed his instincts and morals. No matter what you may think of him, there are people alive in the world who would not be, just because Richard Jewell was doing his job and did it well.

This movie is worth seeing if for no other reason because it reminds the world of that fact.
