Movie Info

This convoluted courtroom thriller, features murder, corrupt cops, organized crime, and unrequited love. Crime boss Rusty Pirone is up for trial on racketeering charges. Despite 24-hour police "protection," the key government witness against Pirone is murdered. It's now up to U.S. Attorney Daniel Graham, who grew up in the same neighborhood as Pirone, to convict the crime lord. Valerie Alston, a naive idealist and single parent, is a juror in the trial. She does not realize the danger of convicting a crime boss until she is kidnapped by corrupt former policeman Tommy Vesey, who tries to persuade her to hindering the jury's decision. Alston falls for Vesey, who uses her for his own ends. Rusty Pirone is also attracted to Alston. Under Vesey's control, Alston forsakes her ideals and becomes a hit-woman.

All Critics (12) | Top Critics (3)

Trial by Jury disintegrates after a promising opening.

Nov 30, 2017 | Full Review…
Independent on Sunday

The movie is far-fetched and contains some of the corniest dialogue heard in years.

The most frustrating aspect of this film is how it blatantly exploits its female characters.
