Women of the Jury - not recommended
Posted January 25, 2024 by ptittle in Movies

So I was intrigued by the description of this movie (streaming on peacock): an all-female jury. And I was delighted to see that both lawyers, as well as most of the jury candidates, were dark-skinned. From that point, downhill.

The male lawyer was in a suit; the female lawyer was obviously a double-D cup.

The first juror rejected was in a skintight something, the camera focused on her body; the second juror was in a red spandex body suit, same camera work.

And yet, I persisted.

Wish I hadn't. My god, but what airheads! "He's guilty, I just know it!" End of argument. "He's guilty, isn't it obvious?" When pushed for reasons, "I just feel it" was dominant. (The defendant was Asian descent; the murder victim was dark-skinned.) Racism ran rampant ...

One juror was hell-bent on making the others actually THINK about the case. And guess what. She was the only (?) white-skinned juror.

What a shame. This movie. It could've been ... It should've been ...
