Richard Jewell Clint Eastwood's enthralling, factually inspired, superbly acted, well-written, humor-punctuated, 129-minute biographical film based on Marie Brenner's 1997 Vanity Fair article American Nightmare: The Ballad of Richard Jewell and Kent Alexander and Kevin Salwen's novel The Suspect in which overweight, mild-mannered, wannabe-cop, crack-shot, 33-year-old security guard Richard A. Jewell (Paul Walter Hauser), who lives with his devoted mother (Kathy Bates) in Atlanta, becomes a Georgia hero after warning and consequently saving many people upon discovering deadly pipe bombs in a suspicious backpack at Centennial Park during the 1996 Olympics and then ends up being railroaded by overzealous FBI agents (Jon Hamm and Ian Gomez) without evidence, vilified in the press when an ambitious and crass journalist (Olivia Wilde) publishes an unsubstantiated article, and ultimately represented by a goodhearted, Snickers-loving lawyer (Sam Rockwell) who believes in his innocence.
