Review of I, the Jury

I, the Jury (1982)
5/10
Cohen script saves it!

Sorry, but Assante is too quite and softspoken to be Hammer. He looks okay, but really has no presence. Velda, his secretary, played by Laurene Landon should have been fleshed out more!! She was great!

Some good side characters by the usual: Sorvino as a captain, Geoffrey Lewis as a drunk army buddy and Alan King as the mob boss. Plus some great NYC locations!! The script is by Larry Cohen and the whole films just screams for his direction, but he took the script money and made Q at the exact same time and place as this one.

It falls apart in the second half with typical 80s action and goofy conspiracies. Sorta fun!
