What to Do on Blackout Tuesday: Watch Jamie Foxx and Michael B. Jordan in “Just Mercy” for Free on All Platforms

Share

“Just Mercy” should have been an Oscar nominee, as well as its actors, but Warner Bros. put all its efforts into “Joker.”

Now Destin Daniel Cretton’s excellent film about civil rights lawyer Bryan Stevenson is FREE on all streaming platforms for the month of June. Jamie Foxx and Michael B. Jordan star. Brie Larson appeared in a secondary role as a gift to the filmmaker. “Just Mercy” is a story of triumph as Foxx’s Walter McMillian is arrested and convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. You don’t want to miss this film. Foxx will bring tears to your eyes. Tim Blake Nelson is amazing playing a terrible character. Rob Morgan shines.
