A satisfying David vs Goliath tale of justice.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Screenwriters in Hollywood always amaze me when they find the most obscure and peculiar stories based on true events to adapt into film. One of these recent examples is inspired by a 1999 New Yorker article written by Jonathan Harr. In it, he describes a civil trial in Jackson, Mississippi with attorney Willie Gary on behalf of Jeremiah O'Keefe against the Loewen Funeral Company over a contractual dispute.

Holistically, Maggie Betts’ The Burial serves up a nice plate of entertainment with laughter, family, and heart to enjoy on the side. However, this movie goes above and beyond Gary’s showy tactics to win a case. It’s about the discovery of truth.

Through laughter, tugged heart strings, and even the pride that may seep through while watching a small team take down a corporate giant, The Burial has so much going for it. With its star-studded cast, it’s also hard to imagine it turning out any other way. Jamie Foxx leads the pack with a show-stopping performance. It will be no shock to fans of the long-time actor, but he is so impressive here, showcasing his range.
