Cheap and flashy, and made with a kind of pulpy B-movie zest, Citizen Verdict pushes all the expected buttons.

Shadows on the Wall

Scenes seem slapped together and mismatched, performances vary from tight and sardonic to mopey and melodramatic.

Maybe not the worst movie I've ever seen, but way, way down there.

A great idea not done very well. I was hoping for another 'Private Life Show' but this movie fell very short in its execution. The lead guy's acting is as atrocious as his hair. Jerry Springer is surprisingly not that bad. I'd like to see a good director and a better script-writer take this concept on.

Bad acting by 85% of the cast, interesting concept, not the greatest of executions of the concept... but still decent enough.

Well acted with an intriguing concept, but poorly directed and edited with only a mediocre script at best. There are a LOT of unnecessary filler scenes and characters that were left in.

This film just doesn't work. I am sure it was intended to be a more biting satire on reality television than it turned out. It comes off as more ludicrous than anything. The very od casting sparks some interest however.
