The Juror

REVIEW
Overbaked, underdeveloped potboiler with Moore as a single mom who gets called for jury duty on a murder case. The accused is a big-time mafioso whose strongarm, played by Baldwin, wants to ensure his boss' acquittal, leading to Moore being threatened and tormented in scene after silly, unpleasant scene, to convince her to vote not guilty…..or else. Reminiscent of 1994's equally silly Trial by Jury, this is basically a throwaway TV movie with two big-time star names. Though the acting is good, if undistinguished, The Juror is overlong and not very exciting -- though at least the shots are in focus.
