My Tocayo and personal movie critic suggested this film on the same day my wife received a notice to appear for jury duty.
From a heart-stopping action thriller to a lively courtroom drama, Eric Marlon Bishop born December 13, 1967, aka Jamie Foxx, the American actor, comedian, and singer, who received acclaim for his portrayal of Ray Charles in the film Ray, and winning the Academy Award, BAFTA, Screen Actors Guild Award, and Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.
In Aug, Foxx returned to social MEDIA after he was hospitalized in April for a mysterious medical complication. ‘Stay blessed!’ he wrote to fans.
Back to the major motion picture, Jamie Foxx's charisma is in full force in The Burial, where he stars as the rich and flashy Florida attorney Willie Gary.
In this legal dramedy loosely based on a true story, Willie represents the cash-strapped local business owner Tommy Lee Jones of a Mississippi funeral home in a bid to take on a corporate "deathcare" behemoth. Its two lead actors are joined by a first-rate supporting cast, with Jurnee Smollett as Gary's female counterpart for the defense and Bill Camp as the villain, a corrupt corporate bigwig threatening a family business. It's the type of David vs. Goliath crowd-pleaser that you’ve likely already seen before, but its smart writing and performances may just win you over.
