Overview
While serving as a juror in a high profile murder trial, family man Justin Kemp finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma…one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict—or free—the accused killer.
Given the subject matter and the cast, this movie is fairly disappointing. If you decide to make a movie about a courtroom drama, you’ve got half of your movie made for you because so much of the drama is built-in. In that sense, this movie was incredibly formulaic: there is a moral conundrum that affects a jurors ability to be impartial. There were scenes that could have come directly out of movies like My Cousin Vinny and 12 Angry Men. This proves the point that these themes have been beaten to death, and this film certainly didn’t breathe any new life into the genre. Worse, there were lots of things to dislike. For example, the dialog was often atrocious. Some of the scenes were simply not believable. Also, the jurors acted as if the case against the defendant was a slam-dunk case – their reasons for this were simply not plausible. The entire movie hinged on one question: who, if anyone, was going to do the right thing. The whole thing felt sloppy and formulaic.
