CHRISTIAN TOTO: ‘Richard Jewell’ Crucifies Fake News, Honors the Heartland. “Richard was an overweight white male who owned guns and had no girlfriend or wife. Or, as Kathy puts it, ‘He’s a fat f*** who lives with his mom. How did we miss that?’ Our culture abhors racial profiling, unless the suspect ticks off those boxes, and then it’s game on. Richard found that out the hard way.”

Plus: “You ready to start fighting back?”

Bottom line: “‘Richard Jewell’ is a testament to a wronged man, a cry against government overreach and an upper cut on Fake News’ jaw. It’s also one of the year’s best films.”
