In it, the double Oscar nominee played the daughter of Connery’s character.
Amazon’s ‘Just Cause’ will give a twist to the original material by performing what English speakers know as gender swap; turning its protagonist Matt Cowart, a Miami journalist, into Madison “Madi” Cowart, a Florida newspaper reporter sent to document the final days of a death row inmate.
