Like many Clint Eastwood films based on real life tales, Richard Jewel is a fine film but one that doesn't feel like it needed to be made. Even the best, such as American Sniper don't really feel needed, only reason i saw it twice was because a friend had it on and i wound up watching the entire thing. It is a powerful film but even the powerful films can feel odd, like why was this made? In American SNipers case it was to shed new light, for Richard Jewel, it basically is bringing an old topic back to life, a topic i only vaguely remember. To me 96 was a great year for the olympics, the Basketball dream team was my summer of that year, well that and the NWO and the rise of Steve Austin and Mandkind. Speaking of which 96 is also the year of Kurt Angle in the Olympics. Do i remember Richard Jewel? Not so much, will i remember this film? Probably not.
