Trivia
This film features both James Gandolfini and Michael Rispoli playing mob/ underworld figures. Three years later, Gandolfini and Rispoli would appear together in HBO's acclaimed mafia series The Sopranos (1999) with each actor portraying the boss of the DiMeo crime family at varying times. When casting the series Sopranos' creator David Chase almost gave the lead role of Tony Soprano to Rispoli before finally giving it to Gandolfini.

Not as bad as the rep

This Juror isn't as bad as some reviewers might make it out to be. Granted it is a bit protracted and could be called disjointed as well but it's not devoid of any intensity. Overall its a mediocre thriller but what sets it apart,in the eyes of this reviewer,is Alec Baldwin's performance. Most good actors give some of their best work as villains and Baldwin is well cast in the role of a psychotic hitman. While sometimes a great performance is really more of a great character, this is a case of a passable role that is brought to life by the actor. Who also revitalizes the entire film.
