A woman serving on the jury of an anti-Mafia trial must protect herself and her young son from a psychopathic gangster in this thriller. Demi Moore stars as Annie Laird, a single mother and artist who... read more read more... readily agrees to do her civic duty on the jury in the trial of a major organized crime figure. She quickly comes to regret this decision when a mysterious and eccentric Mafia associate known as The Teacher (Alec Baldwin) threatens to kidnap her son and harm her friends unless she promises to vote not guilty. Fearing for their lives, she plays along, but unfortunately the Teacher shows no sign of backing away from his plans, having become personally obsessed with Annie. Unwilling to trust the authorities, Annie instead develops a plan to save her child by taking on the Teacher and the mob. Adapting a novel by George Dawes Green, the screenplay was written by Ted Tally (The Silence of the Lambs). ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

  • March 15, 2008
    Demi is a juror who is threatened by gangsters.
  • September 4, 2007
    This version of the jury-drama-thriller story is a marginal improvement, sparked by Alec Baldwin's succulenty hammy performance.
  • June 24, 2007
    A good thriller as a young single mother finally gets to do Jurory duty. Something she has always been interested in. Only for it to cause trouble for her as local gangsters try to infuence her verdict.
  • February 13, 2007
    A dammed if you do, dammed if you don't film. The storyline is good, in my opinion Alec Baldwin's best part
  • January 25, 2007
    decent at best
  • January 23, 2011
    I thought this movie was a great thrill. Though I thought it was a little predictable at time because I've seen lots of similar movies before. Demi Moore plays the juror who also is a single mom and she gets threatened by a man who has connections to the case.

    This movie I felt was just average. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good - it was kind of just there...
  • July 31, 2009
    Entertaining, though its hard for me to get excited about old 90s action films anymore.

    Gotta love Demi Moore, its crazy how she still looks the same! Joseph Gordon-Levitt was lovable as her son, and wow, Alec Baldwin was a hottie in the 90s! I enjoyed his turn as a psycho mob h... read moreitman, it felt real.

    SPOILER: Unfortunately, there's a scene where he berates Demi on the phone, and all I could picture was him cussing out his daughter on the phone: "you're a rude little pig!!"

    But other than that, I was entertained!
  • December 15, 2011
    This movie hinges on the relationship between Demi Moore and her son, and the chemistry just is not there. If you are expecting A Few Good Men meets G.I. Jane, be prepared to lower your expectations to those of an okay thriller.

Moore needs The Juror like she needs another scarlet letter; the 'D-for-dopey' here is hanging down to everyone's knees.

Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily

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.

Despite its big names and slick sheen, [the film] fails to make a convincing case. Full Review
