{"product_id":"the-runaway-jury-by-john-grisham-copy","title":"The Runaway Jury by John Grisham","description":"\u003cp\u003eBased on the bestseller by John Grisham, Runaway Jury is a slick thriller that's exciting enough to overcome the gaps in its plot. The ultimate target has been changed: Grisham's legal assault on the tobacco industry was switched to the hot-button issue of gun control (no doubt to avoid comparison to The Insider) in a riveting expos of jury-tampering. Gene Hackman plays the ultra-cynical, utterly unscrupulous pawn of the gun-makers, using an expert staff and advanced electronics to hand-pick a New Orleans jury that will return a favorable verdict; Dustin Hoffman (making his first screen appearance with real-life former roommate Hackman) defends the grieving widow of a gun-shooting victim with idealistic zeal, while maverick juror John Cusack and accomplice Rachel Weisz play both ends against the middle in a personal quest to hold gun-makers accountable. It's riveting stuff, even when it's obvious that Grisham and director Gary Fleder have glossed over any details that would unravel the plot's intricate design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43118811512906,"sku":"5945v","price":9.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/5945v_327c9714-0e8b-44fb-8abc-99eb553fcf83.jpg?v=1765600607","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/the-runaway-jury-by-john-grisham-copy","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
