Review of The Juror

The Juror (1996)
6/10
Not bad, but doesn't stand up to multiple viewings

Warning: Spoilers
The Juror is one of those movies I saw a long time ago and moderately liked and (tried) to watch again recently and couldn't get through 5 minutes.

I really think there are just some movies that cannot be viewed more then once and this is one. I personally couldn't remember much about it thus my wanting to see it again-usually a really good movie CAN be viewed multiple times or at least twice. There was a lot of overacting in this as well-everyone just tries to hard and once you know what's coming in this, it's tough to sit through a second time.

Still, it isn't at all the worst movie out there-and this is liked by many I know. Any major fans of this movie may want to check out a movie that's similar in plot but lesser known: "trial by Jury" that, to me rates slightly better then The Juror although not by much. The story lines are very similar.
