Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The_Film_Cricket 'The Juror' features a character that works for the mob and is a master of manipulation, he can spin a woman into sex and then murder her without even thinking about it. He uses a calming voice and tricky, twisty and inventive ways to coerce anyone into anything. The problem with 'The Juror' is that his target is so stupid that we don't sense that he has to work very hard.Her name is Annie (Demi Moore) and she is happily serving on a jury in which a mafia godfather is on trial for murder. When asked if she knows the facts of the case she says that she knows a little about it from her son. What moron would mention her kid in a courtroom with the mob boss and his henchman sitting there listening? Because, if she didn't there would be no reason for her to be chased down by the mob - That's why!.A mafia hit-man breaks into her home and copies some documents and photographs. The next day he returns to the house posing as an art collector (Annie is a sculptor) and pays a large sum of cash for one of her works then asks her out to dinner. He is called The Teacher and is played well by Alec Baldwin who manages to turn in good performances in bad movies. Naturally, The Teacher informs Annie that all she has to do is say two little words - Not Guilty or bad things will befall her and those around her especially her son.The movie goes on and on and on even after the trial is over. It includes a particularly ugly scene in which The Teacher seduces and then murders Annie's best friend. This leads to a complicated series of cat and mouse scenes one less believable than the next until the movie ends up in Guatemala for reasons I still can't explain.'The Juror' would have been served will be sticking to the basic idea but it loads on scene after scene of excruciating thriller baggage. In the end it's us in the audience who pay the penalty for having to sit through such a needlessly long movie.

AaronCapenBanner Demi Moore plays Annie Laird, a single mother with a teenage son named Oliver(played by Joseph-Gordon Levitt) who is chosen to serve on the jury of a big mafia trial. Alec Baldwin plays a mysterious hit man known as "The Teacher", who is hired by the mob to intimidate Annie into insuring that the jury comes back with a not guilty verdict. After this is accomplished, Baldwin is still so taken with Annie that he can't let her go, escalating matters out-of-control as the whole scheme is threatened. Anne Heche is memorable as Annie's best friend Juliet,as is James Gandolfini as a mob associate.Though features good actors trying their best, and is surprisingly compelling to a point, it all eventually unravels due to over-length and implausibility of the characters, whose actions over the course of the film are increasingly unlikely.

merklekranz "The Juror" features Alec Baldwin in yet another edgy criminal role not unlike his character in "Miami Blues", which happens to be terrific, while "The Juror" is close to terrible. Everything about the trial is very vague, stretched, and uninteresting. The characters are mostly unlikable, including Demi Moore. So what you get is a highly unlikely story of a meek artist juror submitting to Baldwin's threats for almost the entire film, and then suddenly transforming into "Mrs Rambo" for the unbelievably weak finale. Throw in a ridiculous "how did he do that?" relating to the demise of Tony LoBianco, some questionable motivation, and a general feeling of "no way could that happen". - MERK

shmucking Alec Baldwin's character talks so much and is so self-righteous that I wanted one of the other characters to yell "Shut up already!". It's hard to think of a more annoying character in movies. James Gandolfini is good, Anne Heche is also enjoyable, and Demi Moore is okay. Baldwin just seems way too impressed with himself and his monologues for this movie to be successful in any way. The story itself has interesting possibilities, but they're overwhelmed by the unconvincing Baldwin character and the submissive way the other characters react to him. One of those movies that I was glad to see end. Very unpleasant movie with an annoying, self-impressed main character.
