John Cusack, Kim Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, Rachel Ritz, four well-known actors all occupy a lot of roles in this film, and even those jurors and judges, As well as the staff and thugs in the company, they are all familiar faces, which shows that the lineup of the film itself is quite strong. And from the shooting at the beginning of the film to the signs that the jurors were being tracked and secretly filmed, the audience's appetite was stunned. Then the true appearance of the juror No. 6 and the tacit cooperation of the handsome couple are even more impressive. What the audience cares most about is how the protagonist establishes his authority in the bribed jury and achieves the long-awaited goal.
It can be said that the film’s display of the fierce confrontation between John Cusack and Kim Hackman is more outstanding. Rachel Ritz is the line between them, connecting, pulling, and at the same time incomparable. Seductively. Compared with these three people, Dustin Hoffman’s character creation can be said to be the biggest flaw in the film. Not only did he lose his character, but the lines were completely unreliable. I don’t know how the original novel depicts this character, but in my Here, Lawyer Lor really confirms the argument that "good guys are harder to shape than bad guys." The weakness of this link made the original three-legged pattern seriously unbalanced, and to a certain extent affected the realism and viewability of the film. For such a cast and story, it is really a pity.
The most gratifying plot of the whole film is at the end, the actor Nicholas said to the jury consultant Lan Jin in the bar, "I did not manipulate them, I just prevent you from cheating." This sentence prevented the two Nicholas and Lan Jin from collaborating with each other, and to a large extent retained the affirmation and trust in the jury system, leaving behind rational hope.
