With his gangster boss (Tony Lo Bianco) on trial for murder, a mob thug known as "the Teacher" (Alec Baldwin) tells Annie Laird (Demi Moore) she must talk her fellow jurors into a not-guilty verdict, implying that he'll kill her son Oliver (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) if she fails. She manages to do this, but, when it becomes clear that the mobsters might want to silence her for good, she sends Oliver abroad and tries to gather evidence of the plot against her, setting up a final showdown.

Critics Consensus

Self-serious despite its abundance of trite twists, The Juror is a drab thriller that audiences may hold in contempt.

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000
2/4
Without revealing plot twists, I will say that the movie goes on a long while -- a very long while -- after the trial is over, and that a trip to the jungles of Guatemala is unnecessary, to put it mildly. Go to Full Review Mike Clark USA Today Jan 1, 2000
1.5/4
Moore needs The Juror like she needs another scarlet letter; the 'D-for-dopey' here is hanging down to everyone's knees. Go to Full Review Sheila Reid Women in the Life May 31, 2022
At first glance, this seems like another typical "woman being victimized" movie that's pretty predictable, but its ending may surprise you. Go to Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) May 12, 2020
2.5/5
Tremendously trashy courtroom drama that improves as its silly premise just keeps on getting, well, sillier. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Jan 29, 2019
2.5/4
The film's uneven atmosphere is especially disappointing given the irresistible, seemingly foolproof premise and effectiveness of the stars' performances... Go to Full Review Chuck O'Leary Fantastica Daily Jan 23, 2006
7/10
A tightly-wound thriller that succeeds to the degree it does because of Alec Baldwin's sinister performance, which somehow captures the pathos of his monstrous character. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Marianne de N @RT05891232 Feb 24, 2026 I absolutely enjoyed seeing a young Demi Moore and Alec Baldwin was wow! See more Jelisije J @jjosifovic Feb 18, 2026 An over the top copy and paste story of Trial by Jury. Still enjoyable, but not as satisfying as I would like it. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 27, 2025 Failure in 1 hour and 56 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $21,800,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jun 14, 2025 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. See more JG T @RT42418241 Mar 16, 2025 I have never been so shocked by a low score. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. The script is tight, written by Ted Tally of Silence of the Lambs fame, the acting is fantastic, it's absolutely gripping, it's Alex's best role as a really bad guy, and Demi and Anne Heche are A-Ma-Zing. What's wrong with people. See more Bruno V @RT13830604 Mar 1, 2025 Film that seems to be one of those clichés, but the plot is attractive and engaging. See more Read all reviews
