Juror #2: A Recommendation

I watched Clint Eastwood's latest film, Juror #2, last night and wanted to urge everyone to watch it. I thought it was a very good exploration of honour and cowardice, all via the vehicle of a courtroom drama.
I *really* don't want to say much about this film for fear of spoiling the surprise when you watch it so I'll give a brief outline of the situation.
A woman has been found dead in a creek at the side of a road. She has only been dead a few hours. Cause of death is an undetermined blunt instrument which has not been found. It is soon determined that she was at a roadhouse on the road beside which she was found. Witnesses recounted an argument that she'd had with her boyfriend. They'd argued in the roadhouse and he'd smashed a beer bottle but hadn't hurt her physically. She left and he followed her out, arguing further out in the parking lot. She broke it off with him and walked off in a huff, apparently heading home. The boyfriend had gotten in his car and set off in the same  direction. The boyfriend had a history of being in a violent gang but had cleaned up his act in recent years. The boyfriend is arrested and charged with murder.
A pool of potential jurors is summoned and a 30ish man whose wife is expecting their first child is one of them but he intends to try to get out of the jury duty. He fails and is designated Juror #2.
The rest of the jury is chosen and the trial begins. The prosecutor has substantial evidence while the public defender has no alibi witness to offer and confines himself to raising reasonable doubt whenever possible. However, all is not as it seems. As the trial proceeds and the testimony is heard, it becomes clear that juror #2 has a connection to the events surrounding the young woman's death. His actions form the core of the story so I will not discuss them except to say that he must make a decision to be either honourable or cowardly. Both decisions carry grave consequences.
I like this kind of movie because it makes me wonder how I would react in that situation.
The actor playing juror #2 is Nicholas Hoult, who I've never seen before. I've never seem most of the other actors in anything else, although some of the names are familiar to me. There are SOME familiar faces, including Leslie Bibb as the jury foreperson, J. K. Simmons as another juror, and Kiefer Sutherland (in a small role). The judge, played by Amy Aquino, is also familiar to me, most recently as Bosch's superior in a few seasons of Bosch.
The film runs two hours. I see that IMDB rates it only a 7.0. Personally, I think it deserves better. Maybe the people that rated it were hoping for Clint to appear - he only directs - or were expecting car chases and special effects.
