Based on the bestseller of the same name by George Dawes Green, this thriller has Demi Moore as the juror on a Mafia trial who is harassed, threatened and coerced by a mob henchman Alec Baldwin to bring about a hung jury. Unfortunately, Brian Gibson's film plods along predictably, with the only sparks of interest coming from the implausible plot twists. Still, thanks to a hilarious performance from Baldwin, it's marginally better than the similarly themed Trial by Jury with Joanne Whalley-Kilmer, which was made two years before.
"...A kinetic, menacing performance by Alec Baldwin....[He has] a role here worthy of his steely-eyed intensity, mixing ruthlessness with seductive charm..."
I thought this was a great film, Demi Moore playing a blinder.
The film just proves that love can conquer all!
Definitely one to watch.
Brilliant story line, well acted, thrilling plot
