      Audience Member If you watch this film sober and on your own it is boring, confusing, and poorly made. However if you have had a couple drinks, have friends, and heckle the movie, it turns craptastic. It is seriously shit, but the kind of shit comparable to The Room Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I had the pleasure of having an actress as a friend while I was living in Australia. She mentioned that she was going to be an extra in a movie, and although we made plans to watch it together, I had to leave the country. Thank God I never had to see it with her... Years later she sent me a link to this film on IMDb, and said "oh you should check this movie out. This was the one that I told you about... I played one of the jurors." And since it had been a while I thought; oh why not? It's got Malcolm McDowell, how bad can it be, despite the low rating? Dear sweet lord it was worse than I thought. The acting is terrible to put it gently, even McDowell couldn't pull out a single believable moment to hold the viewer's attention. There is an ensemble cast of first timers, poor talent, and just terrible delivery throughout. The plot is even worse. In a misguided attempt to create a modern Christian comedy, they try and dupe you with what you think will be a funny little courtroom comedy. It's not. It's actually a really bad drama, like a film student's first attempt. I don't think anyone chose what theme they were going for when they made this movie. There is so much Christian rhetoric in this trash that I was literally yelling, "oh just shut it!" at the television. If you don't believe me, just listen to the song in the credits. Better yet, don't watch this movie at all and save yourself a lifetime of regret. Do NOT watch this garbage. 0.5/5 (this is certainly the lowest rating I have ever given. If there was something lower than .5, this movie would get it) Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Phenomenal film. Ignore the critics. Just watch it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Silly premise that made me laugh, and provoked my interest in this movie, but this got so bad that I couldn't even finish it. Bad acting, bad dialogue, bad pacing, and very few believable characters are the reason. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Malcolm McDowell should have won an Oscar for this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Great film - 10 out of 10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Brent Simon Shockya.com Aiming for some theoretical sweet spot between comedy, courtroom drama and Up-with-Jesus! sermonizing, this inane film can't even be saved via attempted personality transfusion from Malcolm McDowell. 'Trial of the century,' huh? Only in movie hell. Rated: D- May 5, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
