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

Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: C- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Peter Stack San Francisco Chronicle Rated: 3/4 Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Sheila Reid Women in the Life At first glance, this seems like another typical "woman being victimized" movie that's pretty predictable, but its ending may surprise you. May 31, 2022 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) Tremendously trashy courtroom drama that improves as its silly premise just keeps on getting, well, sillier. Rated: 2.5/5 May 12, 2020 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews The film's uneven atmosphere is especially disappointing given the irresistible, seemingly foolproof premise and effectiveness of the stars' performances...

SkyRo P "The Juror," featuring Alec Baldwin and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, showcases an extraordinary performance by Demi Moore that truly steals the show. Anne Heche plays a pivotal role in this film, and I was surprised I hadn’t seen it until now. Finally taking the time to watch it in 2024, I was blown away by Demi's remarkable performance. She effortlessly embodies her character, solidifying her status as a Hollywood star—there's no doubt about it. Her ability to draw you in is unparalleled, and I found myself completely engrossed in her story, which revolves around a mob boss threatening her life and forcing her to go on the run. This film brilliantly highlights not only Demi's beauty but also her character's intelligence and resourcefulness as she fights to protect herself and her son. The director did an exceptional job crafting a compelling narrative that not only captivated the audience but also left us eager for more engagement with the characters. While the film concludes definitively, it possesses a quality that makes you want to revisit it multiple times; I could easily see myself watching it once a month and still feeling just as enthralled as the first time. The courtroom scenes are particularly impressive, especially since many legal dramas can feel tedious or cringe-worthy. Here, every aspect, including the performance of the judge outside the courtroom, was executed brilliantly, enhancing the overall experience. I wholeheartedly recommend watching this film and immersing yourself in its brilliance. It's a movie that deserves your attention, and I guarantee you'll appreciate its depth and craftsmanship. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Sarah D It’s an okay movie. If you’ve never seen it, it’s worth watching. Alec Baldwin is the best one in it. I may be a little jaded since I’m not at all a Demi Moore fan. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review darkart1000 2 one of ther best crime hitman movies of all time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review Louise C An awful story that even good actors could not make attractive. I finished it by reading the storyline on Wikipedia. That made me glad I turned it off after half an hour! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review farah r Terribly uninteresting despite trying too hard to be so and utterly senseless to the last minute, but it's watchable on a boring evening. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The trip to Guatamala was not needed but the reasoning for it was clear. Baldwin does a great job as the villain,and the supporting cast fits in nicely. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
