‘Roman J. Israel, Esq’ Gets Recut Following TIFF Premiere!!!

Roman J. Israel, Esq. made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last month, and it’s okay. Despite another outstanding performance from Denzel Washington, the plot meanders and lacks immediacy. Apparently, Washington and writer-director Dan Gilroy were able to read the room and see that the film wasn’t landing quite the way they had hoped, so they’ve recut the movie a bit.
